Bengaluru, May 24:The first 'Sunday curfew' imposed by the Karnataka government to try and contain the spread of COVID-19 got underway in the state today, with people by and large adhering to norms, roads wearing a deserted look and almost no vehicular traffic, barring essential services.
With barricades being up across most roads in the state, people ventured out only to purchase groceries, vegetabes and medicines.
Instances of violation of Sunday curfew lockdown norms were reported in COVID-19 hotspots of Shivajinagar and Rayapura in Bengaluru and Nelamangala and Devanahalli.
Temples, malls, bars, eateries and small food joints remained shut throughout state.
In most parts of the state buses, autorickshaws and cabs did not ply.
In Bengaluru, the ever bustling Majestic area, which houses the central city bus stand, inter-city bus stand, Metro Railway Station and the City Railway Station, did not see any activity as buses did not ply and all shops were shut, police said.
Reports from Mysuru, Tumakuru, Kolar, Mangaluru, Udupi and other towns across the state said there were no lockdown violations.
Amid the rigid curfew marriages were conducted in a simple manner in various parts of the state like Gollarahatti and Yashwanthapura in Bengaluru and also in Davangere.
Families of the brides and grooms invited only a few people for the event, adhered to social distancing norms and wore masks.
In Gollarahatti, the event organisers cleaned the road, after which the invitees, who were hardly 25 to 30 in number, sat down to have a feast.
The Karnataka government had eased restrictions during Lockdown 4 for start of economic activities like city buses, inter-district bus service, intrastate train services, opening of shops and markets.
However, the government had made it clear that there will be 'Janata Curfew' every Sunday during which only essential services would be permitted.
"People of the country are demanding a Ram temple, but how will a Ram temple be made if there are no Ram-bhakts in the country," he said while addressing a programme at Devbad area of Saharanpur district.

There was a time when the enemies of mankind spread the LIES of accessive Population is harmful to earth and they spread the fear & introduced \hum do hamare do\". --- We see the results that most of those who never read about \"the revelation of God who gave the life\" have been trapped in this depopulation situation and NOW they are forcing their community to make children... without any financial aid.

one ayat of quran below: (17:31)
Do not kill your children for FEAR of POVERTY. We will provide for them and for YOU. Surely killing them is a great sin...
Those who trusted God never fall trap to such fear....
At that time and even now Many abortion took place to live a worldly enjoyment but in their old age people desired that they had many childrens... which they regret of not having 3 or more children..
Dont forget, India and China with most population are the most fast growing economy today.. Nothing to feel ashamed... only the ruling few will put fear on the people to control their evil agenda.."
