Bengaluru: Following public outcry and criticism from BJP Ministers, legislators and opposition parties, the State Government has withdrawn ‘night curfew’ order before its implementation on Thursday night.

However, divergent views came from the general public against the decision to impose night curfew. After reviewing the decision and consulting the Cabinet colleagues and senior officials, it was decided to withdraw night curfew order. The citizens must voluntarily observe the safety protocol by wearing face mask, cleaning hands and maintaining social distancing, the release said.
