Rural municipality bans entry of newcomers over COVID-19 fears



KASKI: A rural municipality in Kaski district has restricted the entry of people since Wednesday evening into its territory as a part of its fight against COVID-19.

Rupa Rural Municipality, which lies to the east of Pokhara city has decided to prevent people from coming into its area by blocking the main entry points.

Chairman of the municipality, Nabraj Ojha, shared that a security person and two health volunteers would be deployed in each nine major entry points and added that the designated individuals would stay in the posts round the clock.
