The night curfew in these eight cities of Gujarat was earlier imposed by the government from November 1 and the timings were from 1 am to 5 am. The government had decided to relax the curfew by 2 hours in November for Diwali and Chhath Puja as the daily COVID-19 tally had reduced, but now the curfew has been reimposed due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
