The Karnataka government has decided to impose night curfew across the state starting Thursday night (December 24) amid global fears of a new Covid strain detected in the United Kingdom. Why has Karnataka imposed night curfew? The announcement of the night curfew came after the CM held detailed discussions with members of the technical advisory committee on Wednesday morning. “In view of the new strain of Coronavirus, night curfew for nine days will be imposed till January 2,” Yediyurappa told reporters. TS Latha, public relations officer, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), said buses will ply as usual during this period.
