AGARTALA, July 26 (TIWN): Amid Tripura Govt assured daily commodity, food markets along with emergency services to remain open partially during 72 hours lockdown but only for 3 days lockdown, buyers were seen rushing to the markets from the morning hours and made them overcrowded in Agartala. In Gol Bazar like markets, there was no space to walk properly even and social-distancing had turned ‘out of question’. Question raised on the preparedness of the Govt, Police Dept as public’s such attitudes are not unexpected and earlier also they did the same. But ahead of 3 days lockdown, today’s damage might be more dangerous citing example of “irony” of Lockdowns. There was nothing like access control gate or enough deployment of security personnel in market premises. Bazar Committee members’ roles are also shown with total negligence.

The lockdown will be imposed from 5 am on July 27 to be continued till 5 am on July 30. This will be in continuation of the night curfew to be imposed from 9 pm on July 26. According to the Union Health Ministry, Tripura has reported 3,883 COVID-19 cases and 11 deaths so far.
