The Nation’s reporter, who went around, observed the compliance level by the people was encouraging.

Security was tightened as combined operatives were stationed at strategic places to monitor the compliance level.

Also, few people were seen within their environments in groups discussing the lockdown in hushed tones while majority of the residents were indoors.

Only security vehicles were allowed to ply the roads as well as those on essential duties.
