The Union government had classified three districts in Karnataka as ‘Red Zone’ on May 1 — Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural and Mysuru. However, states were given powers to relax lockdown norms with certain conditions. The new norms were introduced after Chief Secretary Vijay Bhaskar issued an order to relax lockdown norms in the state starting Monday. The barricades placed in various areas across the city will continue to remain. Vehicles are not allowed to travel over a speed of 30km per hour. Liquor shops are mandated to have CCTV cameras outside their outlet and must be shut by 7 pm. According to the Chief Secretary’s order, Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagara districts have been considered as one unit, and movement of people considered as essential service persons, between these districts, will be allowed only after employees show a letter issued by the respective organisations and their employment ID. No other inter-district movement, apart from those with passes, is allowed. There, however, will not be any such relaxation in 123 containment zones in the state, including 23 in Bengaluru. Lockdown will continue in these containment zones. Stringent lockdown norms will also apply for those under the “high-risk category” or people with comorbidities. In an order on Sunday, the Chief Secretary has also said that 100% government staff from all the offices of various departments, which are mentioned as essential services, should report to the duty from May 4 in the three districts in ‘red zone’. All Group A (high-ranking officers) and Group B (junior non-gazetted commissioned) officers and 33% of Group C (assistant staff like clerks, stenographers, typists, assistants) and Group D (supporting staff like drivers, cleaners, guards) staff in other departments in red zone districts will attend work.
