The Rajasthan government on Sunday extended its weekend curfew for two weeks as the daily cases crosses 10,000 mark in Rajasthan for the first time. In the view of the steep rise in Covid-19 cases in Rajasthan, the government has announced a 15-day lockdown starting from Monday till May 3. Under the new regulations, the home department late on Sunday night imposed new strict guidelines, and the lockdown period has been named as 'Public Discipline Fortnight'.

Only 50 people will be allowed to attend wedding parties while 20 for a funeral. Telecom, Internet services, postal services, cable services, etc. will remain open" said the guidelines.
