The weekend lockdown imposed for the containment of rapidly spreading COVID-19 evoked a good response in the districts of the Kalyana Karnataka region on the second day on Sunday.
Towns and cities across the region largely wore deserted looks as most of the commercial establishments, except for those offering essential goods and services, remained closed and vehicular movement thin. Police vehicles were found patrolling the city blowing sirens and appealing to the people through loudspeakers to remain indoors.

The decision of the administration to close down all commercial establishments and trading units except those selling essential commodities and providing services such as hospitals and pharmacies left people high and dry in Kalaburagi on Thursday.
Police vehicles began patrolling the city at 4 p.m., blowing sirens and asking traders through loudspeakers to close their shops. In some places, including Super Market, Kapada Bazaar and Kirana Bazaar, police teams forcibly got the shops closed leaving traders as well as customers in shock. Police action created chaos in many places and left people, especially those who had arrived from villages, stranded in the city.
