New Delhi, Jan 7 (IANS): The Delhi Police took to social media to answer various queries of the people regarding the weekend lockdown that is set to kick-in from Friday night.

To curb further spread of Covid-19, the national capital will remain under a stringent curfew from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

People posted several questions on Delhi Police's official Twitter handle regarding the night curfew. Though the police responded to few of them, many queries went unanswered.

Responding to one of the questions posed by a Twitter user, the Delhi Police said that industries with on-site labour will run as usual, following all Covid appropriate behaviour.
