Cuttack: Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) withdrew containment zone tag from Gopal Sahi and Pratapnagari area. The containment zone order was lifted Wednesday as no fresh cases were reported during active surveillance.
Active surveillance, however, will continue in the areas for next seven days as a precaution to check spread of the virus. Lockdown will continue to remain effective as in other areas. After withdrawal of this tag, CMC will allow opening of all essential stores in these areas shortly.
