"Enough is enough," said Amarinder Singh, adding that "we need to be tough without affecting the state's economic activity." Along with lockdown extension, the CM has also ordered a total ban on all gatherings, except weddings and funerals, across the state till August 31. In view of rise in #Covid19 cases, we have decided to impose evening lockdown from 7 PM to 5 AM & weekends lockdown in all towns. Also no public gatherings will be allowed. Citing the 920 COVID-19 deaths reported in the state so far, Amarinder Singh said "each death pains me, and the projections for the coming weeks are grim."
