Ukhrul, July 27 2020:
The lockdown / curfew imposed across the State since July 23 for seven days to prevent spread of coronavirus has literally paralysed Ukhrul town and the adjoining villages.
The markets and offices in Ukhurl district headquarters wear a deserted look with people of the town preferring to stay indoors.
SP of Ukhrul police Worngam Ningshen also issued an order for traffic management in Ukhrul town to check unnecessary vehicular movement and reduce public movement in the town during the period of the lockdown.

Only vehicles engaged in essential services such as transporting essential commodities, on medical reasons, public utilities, LPG carriers and water supply are allowed to move around in Ukhrul town.
Security personnel have been detailed at all strategic points to enforce the lockdown.
Policemen moving around the town with a loud PA system urging the people to stay indoors, wear face masks and maintain physical distancing is a daily affair and so far there is no report of anyone being pulled up for violating the lockdown call.
According to a reliable source, the Tangkhul Co-ordination Forum on Covid-19 (TCFC-19), Ukhrul also held an emergency meeting at TNL office, Ukhrul in view of the the worsening situation in the State.
TCFC-19 resolved to ban all vehicular movements and restrict people from coming to Ukhrul and Kamjong district till August 6 with immediate effect.
Going out of the two districts has also been restricted.
TCFC has also ordered to seal all the entry points and roadways that connect Ukhrul and Kamjong district.
Meanwhile TCFC volunteers were seen deployed at all strategic points for strict enforcement of the lockdown in Tangkhul inhabited areas under TNL jurisdiction.
