War room in Bengaluru
Bengaluru civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has sealed two wards to contain the Covid-19 spread, an official said on Friday (10 April).
"BBMP will completely seal Bapuji Nagar Ward 134 and Padarayanapura Ward 135 to prevent the spread of Covid after five fresh cases were reported," tweeted BBMP Commissioner B H Anil Kumar.
Following the sealing, Kumar said the civic body will supply all essentials to the residents of the two wards, besides banning all vehicular traffic.
Earlier rumours were floating around about the whole city being sealed to curb the spread of Covid-19. City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao took to twitter to shoot down the rumours.
“Rumours and fake news are floating around of a Seal down in Bangalore City and creating panic. Dearest Citizens, there is nothing like that as of now. Please Stay calm”, tweeted Bhaskar Rao.
