Containment zone tag removed
Furthermore, in a separate order, the EKH District Administration has removed Musa Compound at Jhalupara from the purview of the containment tag.
The order comes, according to the statement, in the wake of contact-tracing status and the test reports of the high-risk contacts.
“However, the area from Jhalupara Community Hall till Gopal Ji compound and Maya Compound, Jhalupara, will still remain as containment area,” the order said.
The EKH District Administration has also given the green light to RB Collection Store at GS Road, Police Bazaar, to resume operations with strict adherence to government SOPs.
