On Monday, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that his government has no plans to impose a statewide lockdown. “NO LOCKDOWN IN ASSAM,” CM Sarma stated on Twitter. It has come to my attention that some strange people are spreading rumors about the imposition of lockdown again. Such rumors are completely false. I strongly advise everyone to ignore such falsehoods. Let’s join the government’s efforts to get everyone vaccinated said, Sarma.
CM Sarma’s statement came to light after the state could see a marginal increase in Covid-19 cases. He stated that the state would no longer be on lockdown, but that everyone would be required to receive the vaccine.
