Night Curfew In Delhi, Covid Spike Could Trigger Yellow Alert

The Delhi city government stated that starting today, from 11pm to 5am today, Delhi will impose a curfew because the capital of the country reported 290 new Covid cases on Sunday, an increase of 16%, and it will cause it within 24 hours. 1 related death was reported. The positive rate of cases has climbed to 0.5%-a critical level-if it remains at that level for two consecutive days, a “yellow alert” may be triggered.
According to the Delhi government’s four-phase Gradation Response Action Plan (GRAP), the yellow alert will lead to a series of additional containment measures. GRAP was approved by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority in July to predict the third wave of Covid, which aims to implement and remove restrictions according to the situation.

If the alarm goes off, most activities that resumed in stages when the second wave weakens will cease. The business hours of shops and malls selling non-essential goods and services will be restricted. According to the parity rules, they will be allowed to open from 10 am to 8 pm.

According to the yellow alert, restaurants in the city will be allowed to open at 50% capacity from 8 am to 10 pm, while bars will be allowed to open at 50% capacity from 12 noon to 10 pm. Cinema halls and multi-hall theaters that are currently open to audiences will be closed. The banquet hall and auditorium will do the same. However, the hotel will be allowed to continue operating.

The spa, gym, yoga academy and amusement park will be closed. Stadiums, stadiums and swimming pools will be closed. However, there will be no restrictions on holding national or international sports events in these places. The public park will remain open.

The yellow alert will not affect salons and beauty salons, which will be allowed to operate in the city. The Delhi Metro will operate at 50% of its seat capacity and passengers will not be allowed to stand inside. Interstate buses will operate at 50% of the seats, and cars, electric rickshaws, taxis and bicycle rickshaws will only allow two passengers to ride.

Only 20 people are allowed to participate in weddings and funerals, and social, political, religious, festive and entertainment-related activities will continue. Religious places will remain open, but the access of believers will be restricted.

The yellow alert will also close schools, colleges, educational institutions and coaching institutions. From 9 am to 5 pm, private offices will be allowed to operate at 50% capacity.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
