Mysore/Mysuru: The first
weekend curfew kick-started last night with Police putting up barricades across the city and stopping non-essential movement till 6 am on Monday after which semi-lockdown will be in force. City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta has warned people to stay off the roads unless it was very essential.
As a continued part of weekend curfew today, roads wore a deserted look and the city came to a grinding halt. Even during the four-hour window from 6 am to 10 pm granted for people to purchase essential items, there were hardly any people in the prime markets. As most of them had finished shopping last evening and had stocked up essentials, only a handful of shoppers were seen in the markets.
