- Essentials purchase: Monday, Thursday
- Shopping window: From 6 am to 12 pm
- Order in force: From May 29 till June 7
- Jurisdiction: Mysuru District and City
Mysore/Mysuru: With Mysuru not seeing any respite in mounting COVID-19 cases despite the slashing of RT-PCR testing by half and in spite of State Government’s lockdown decision, Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri, in her capacity of District Magistrate and the Chairman of District Disaster Management Authority, has further tightened the lockdown by allowing only two days a week – Monday and Thursday — from 6 am to 12 pm to purchase essential commodities.
This order will be implemented from May 29 (Saturday) till June 7, 6 am. Even banks and insurance sector have been allowed to function on Monday and Thursday from 8 am to 12 pm.
The orders were passed by the DC this morning, with the powers bestowed under Disaster Management Act 2005. Standalone milk booths, medical services, HOPCOMS outlets and Fair Price Shops have been exempted. The rest remains closed.
During the period of restriction, only goods vehicles will be permitted entry and exit and all other vehicles have been barred from getting onto the roads. Violators of lockdown rules will be punished under the relevant provisions of Disaster Management Act 2005 and Indian Penal Code.
I saw many people in Bogadi and Vijayanagar still go outside for excercise and they did not wear face mask. Beside, the DC committee not allowing use motorcycle but many other people drive on the road. Also, many people meeting with big groups and talking to each other. I think that is the reason for corona virus Spread from person to person.
Sir,
The curtailment of purchasing windows might only lead to more crowding at various grocery shops, vegetable and fruit sellers, milk booths, etc. Therefore, this doesn’t at the outset seem to be a good idea. On the other hand, increasing the purchase window duration while keeping non-essential stores shut might lead to less crowding and a lesser chance of transmission. I request the DC to kindly reconsider this order.
So people can crowd on those two days and make it even worse. Great!!
Yes, I do agree that DC should re-consider this duration instead of following the same duration given by other districts, it depends on the population from district to district, therefore this duration should be re-considered in public interest to avoid over crowding.
Hello,
The way of handling the pandemic situation is really worst and they think lockdown will solve the issue but other side other problems will arise such as hungry, Job loss, economy, middle and poor class people will suffer a lot. Kindly take advice from experts such as good journalists and economists and Implement the plan. A country like Singapore and other parts of Europe lifted lockdown successfully better consult them.

This move by the DC will certainly lead to over crowding at all the stores and other essential shops. While trying to avoid one problem (to keep under check the problem of infection), this move will only end up with higher infection rate due to overcrowding, unless the window for shopping is extended by a few more hours. DC must consider either extending the shopping window for the 2 days or must extend the shopping window on alternate days (3 days per week) keeping the timing between 6AM to 10AM.

Vinasha kale vipuritha buddhi!!!, time and again our administrators are making same mistake. When shops were open between 6am to 12 noon daily, there were long queues. With reduced timing of 6am to 10 am, the queue doubled. Now with this great idea of Monday and Thursday, 6am to 12pm, there will be choked roads, choked shops, and a free for all corona. Keep stadium open for admitting fresh stock of carona affected people from June 7th. Wait and watch!!!!!
