Sec 144 imposed in Ggm, new curbs announced

Gurugram: As Gurugram reported 3,410 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday with 11 more deaths from the virus, adding to its fast mounting death toll, the district administration imposed Section 144 of the CrPC in the city and announced a bunch

of new restrictions in an attempt to arrest the spread of the virus.

Active cases in Gurugram are now over 25,000 and the death toll has risen to 429.
