Chennai: The Tamilnadu government today informed the Madras High Court there is no plan as of now to impose complete curfew in Chennai to control the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
The government also told the court that it has not stopped issuing e-passes for people to go from one district to another. ‘Decisions are being taken based on inputs given by medical expert committee,’ it said.
On Thursday , Madras High Court Judges Vineet Kothari and R Suresh Kumar said, “despite the steps taken by the Tamil Nadu government to contain the coronavirus spread, the number of cases is steeply rising and the situation has become alarming, particularly in the metropolis and its outskirts.”
“Therefore, we want to know whether the government has devised any special scheme, which includes complete lockdown or curfew to contain the spread in Chennai and surrounding areas for sometime,” they said.
