Bharatiya Janata party state headquarters in Bhopal has been placed under undeclared lockdown on Monday after three staff members were tested positive for Covid19.
Soon after on Monday, office secretary Raghvendra Singh ordered to lock down both the gates of the office and banned outsiders’ entry for the next ten days.
Singh has asked the party workers to contact party office-bearers on phone and only visit office when in emergency. During the last Covid19 wave large numbers of BJP leaders and party office employees had fallen prey to Covid19.
However, amid the fresh wave, the party organisation was practicing caution and number of participants were limited to avoid Covid19 infections. For around a fortnight, no party meeting has been organised in the office and no further event or press briefing is scheduled there for ten days, a senior leader said.
Sources said that the party office was locked, as most of the staff living in Kolar area, which is under complete lockdown, could not turn up. However, those coming from other localities reached there. Since, there was no work, they too left for home.
With 919 fresh cases in Indore and 824 cases in Bhopal, state has recorded total 6489 cases in last 24 hours.
