Residents stay indoors; business establishments down shutters; hospitals, pharmacies remain open
The northern districts of Cuddalore, Villupuram and Kallakurichi came to a near standstill as people remained confined to their homes, vehicles stayed off the roads and shops and business establishments remained closed in view of the complete lockdown imposed on Sundays.
Police sources said all rules were strictly enforced, and only essential services and emergency travel were allowed.
The main roads in Cuddalore, Villupuram and Kallakurichi towns wore a deserted look. Retail outlets, meat shops, vegetable markets and industries remained shut. Hotels also downed their shutters and did not offer takeaway service.
