Bengaluru, May 22: Police commissioner Bhaskar Rao on Friday said the next two Sundays will be ‘full curfew days’ and the city will be under complete lockdown between 7pm Saturday and 7am Monday.
Addressing the media, the top cop said all essential services will be excluded from the curfew. “People attending weddings and other ceremonies can travel. Those wanting to buy food products or medicines too can step out. However, like in lockdown 1.0, people found loitering unnecessarily will be punished,” he said.
According to Rao, city roads will be barricaded like how it was done during lockdown 1.0 and 2.0.
A senior police officer told TOI that during this period, vehicles could be seized under the Disaster Management Act-2005. “So, we request the public not to come out unnecessarily. If we find people roaming in vehicles, we shall seize the rides and owners will have to approach the court later to get them released,” he said.
The government has extended the lockdown till May 31, which includes two Sundays.
Earlier in the day, the state government allowed inter-state travel from Karnataka with the consent of the receiving state. Praveen Sood, Karnataka DG and IGP, said, “Inter-state pass is not required to go out of Karnataka as long as you have the consent of the receiving state. Due to the lockdown, migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons are stranded at different places. They would be allowed to move as usual.”

Hey chaddi terrorist, stop spreading your chaddi cancer disease to karnataka state
We the Indians should be celebrating that axxxxxxes farewell to his permanent hell hole where delicious pork are cooked and served by 72 angels plus hoards of his harem collection.
Others say that Yediurappa earned a goodwill among the masses for celebrating Tipu Jayanthi when he was CM & same with Deve Gawda. These politicians change their stances to suit them. Tamil Nadu should celebrate rather Jayanti of Veerappan who was a true Tamlian nationalist. After kidnapping actor Rajkumar, veerappan demanded everything favoring TN. At that Time CM SM Krishna had almost agreed to Veerappans demands. Tipu will remain well addressed in the history for the good work done in Restoring temples & serving his subjects. Feku will be remembered in history for his expertise in riots.
This sidramya is proving himself as Pedramiah - He is suffering from the symptoms of political-termination !
