SHILLONG: In view of a spike in COVID-19 positive cases, a night Curfew has been imposed in the District daily from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM in order to restrict all non-essential movement and ensure that there is no unnecessary mingling of people either in private or in public.
It has however been seen that many vehicles without Curfew Passes are plying during this time. Further, there are some incidents detected of misuse of Essential passes including those of government departments.
