Polite behaviour, but firm action, staff toldThe first day of night curfew in Telangana began with the police carrying out an awareness drive to implement the new rules. Sudden thunderstorms kept many people indoors while others were informed by the media about the immediate night curfew, which was announced on Tuesday and came into effect the same day. Policemen were seen asking people to observe the night curfew and go home while also asking businesses to shut down from 8 p.m., as per the government orders. While there were no untoward incidents, police officials told The Hindu that the night curfew will be implemented strictly across the State. “As the decision to impose night curfew was sudden, we have decided to create awareness and enforce the rule together.
