Mysore/Mysuru: The Santhepet area in the heart of the Central Business District, which was completely shut down by the authorities for two days due to non-compliance of COVID-19 appropriate behaviour and other guideline violations, re-opened today to a new rule introduced by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), which allows permitted shops on the left side of roads in the area to open on one day and those on the right the next day, on alternate-day basis.
Fearing that Santhepet area, including a few shops near the Dufferin Clock Tower, are turning into COVID-19 hotspots due to non-compliance of COVID protocols and other guidelines, the MCC authorities had ordered shutting of Santhepet on Sunday and prepared a list of provision and other essentials shops in the area which can only offer home delivery services.
