In this regard, the Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Mohammad Aijaz Asad who is also the Chairman District Disaster Management Authority(DDMA) has said the recent spike in Covid-19 positive cases has prompted the District Administration to take the step for protection of precious lives.

The DC said that Srinagar Administration is mulling for localised Lock-down in some specific areas of City, if the number of positive cases do not decrease.

He further said that Srinagar has witnessed a spike in Covid cases in the past one week, prompting the administration to declare some areas in the city as containment zones.
