A newly appointed team of bureaucrats took charge of Gujarat's Ahmedabad, which was placed under complete lockdown from midnight as an emergency measure to control the spiraling cases of coronavirus. Five additional companies of para-military forces arrived in the city, where only milk and medicine shops will open for a week to rigorously enforce social distancing rules. From Saturday, a similar lockdown will be enforced in Surat, where more than 750 cases have been reported.
