Awasthi said that the government had also banned any religious programme in temples, mosques, churches and gurdwara and set up a committee headed by an ADG to prepare a strategy to bring back people of the state stranded in other states .
Meanwhile , Principal Secretary (Agriculture) Devesh Chaturvedi said that all arrangements had been made for smooth harvesting of wheat and potato crops.
He said all shops of seeds, fertilisers and pesticides have been allowed to open while harvesters used for wheat cutting will be given permission for movement. 
“We will ensure social distancing and hand washing facilities of agricultural workers engaged in harvesting of wheat in fields,” Chaturvedi said.
The officer said that government-owned 1911 cold storages were functioning normally where farmers were taking out their old potatoes and storing the new produce.
“For storage of wheat and potatoes, jute bags have been procured from West Bengal and Maharashtra,” he said.
