The present orders on night curfew are valid only till April 30. According to sources, the Health department has submitted a report to the State Government on the number of active cases, number of deaths and the number of cases recovered. Home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali reviewed the situation with top police officials based on the report of the Health department.
The Home department will submit its recommendations to the Chief Minister by Thursday.
The high-level meeting, sources said, will also come up with an action plan for vaccination of all those who are 18 years of age and above. Statistics reveal that so far only about 2 percent of the total population got vaccinated and there was a need to speed up the programme.
