Bhopal: Bhopal and Indore might come under night curfew in a couple of days due to spike in Covid-19 cases in these cities.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said tough measures will be taken to flatten the curve and added that these cities might experience night curfews from Sunday or Monday.
Chouhan said people from neighbouring Maharashtra are pouring into the state by air, trains and roads. This has contributed to worsening of the situation, he added.
