All modes of public transports will be shut from Monday as the country will go into limited lockdown till 6am Thursday to curb the spread of dreaded Covid-19.

In a gazette notification, the Cabinet Division said, "All modes of public transports will remain suspended during the restriction period. Only goods-laden vehicles and rickshaws will be allowed to operate."

Members of law enforcement agencies will ensure this through regular patrolling.
