Bengaluru, May 18: Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappa today announced lockdown relaxations from tomorrow (May 19) across the state. As per new guidelines public transport services will start operations outside COVID-19 containment zones in the state.
“To facilitate easy movements of citizens, services of the BMTC, KSRTC, NEKRTC and NWKRTC will start from Tuesday morning, except in containment zones. Even private buses can ply,” Yediyurappa said, after discussing the Centre's Lockdown 4.0 guidelines with his Cabinet colleagues and officials.
“The only condition is that only 30 people should travel in one bus so as to ensure social distancing,” the CM said.
He also clarified that bus fares will not be hiked. “I know there will be losses incurred. The government will bear the losses,” he said.
Auto rickshaws, taxis and maxi cabs (six-passenger vehicles) will also be allowed to operate. “Auto rickshaws and taxis will have a driver and two passengers. Maxi cabs will have a driver and three passengers,” Yediyurappa said.
All parks in the state will be open 7 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 7 pm.
Starting Tuesday, all shops except malls and theatres can open. “This includes salons,” the CM said.
All relaxation will cease to exist every Sunday, the CM said. “Every Sunday will be a complete lockdown. There’ll be no shops and the movement of people. It’ll be a complete rest day,” he said.
The existing curfew from 7 pm to 7 am will continue on all days, which means public transport services will not be allowed during this time.
Trains will run within the state, but interstate trains will not be allowed till May 31, the CM said.
It is mandatory for citizens to wear masks in public. “Not wearing a mask will be penalised,” Yediyurappa said.
On the classification of zones, Yediyurappa said the government's main focus was containment zones. “We're particular about containment zones. In the Karwar district, for example, Bhatkal will be a containment zone and no other taluk will have restrictions,” he said.
However, the government will review the relaxation based on how things pan out. “States have been given the freedom, so we can withdraw or modify as necessary,” he said.

When the people who associate partners with ALLAH revert and Worship ALLAH alone... They are already be forgiven for their Past Sin. ALLAH is most forgiving and most merciful....
May Allah forgive us and make us one of the inheriters of the Jannah.
ALHAMDULILLAH, MAY ALLAH SWT INCREASE THEIR IMAAN.AND FORGIVE THEIR PAST SINS. AAMEEN
Islam is the only religion accept by the almighty ALLAH (God) . Please make a research Y God accept only ISLAM. There is a life after death... We Muslims know that and U never understand this cos the Guidance comes only when U learn about the CREATOR who created U, ME and all that EXists...
Read QURAN with translation... U can also check online , i prefer Quranproject which is well explained to those who dont know about ISLAM and the one GOD who is the God of all that exists.
Finally Read it and U also have the choice to accept it or Not ... There is no compulsion in Religion... (What a better way Allah gives u the choice to accept it or not)
Islam is a true religion there is no place in Islam for Nama, Rama, Duma, Thoma and Roma all the prayers for Almighty Allah and leave and live for Allah, this is not only in Saudi all Muslim countries Non Muslims attract to Islam, one who see true Muslims and their believe in Allah they accept Islam..Insha Allah Islam will spread every where. Non believers and terrorists who do terrorism in the name of Islam will disappear one day Insha Allah
Dear Brother Ahmed, I agree with your comments.. But we cant throw stones for all dogs which keeps barking on roadside right? Bolney waley bolney do jo aney waley ayengey.. Cos Islam is such a religion if one non muslim goes deep into Quran he will not be non muslim later.. In Sha Allah many more to come in future
AlHamdulillah
Allahu Akber
Ma Sha Allah.. Welcome to Islam brothers and sisters.. May Allah bless you and all..
