Lockdown in Jharkhand
As the cases of coronavirus are increasing very rapidly in Jharkhand so the state government has decided to impose the complete lockdown except for essential and emergency movement. The lockdown in the state is from 22nd Apr till 31st May. The main purpose of imposing a lockdown is so that the movement of the general public would be stopped for some days and it can break the series of this virus.
