District collector M Hari Jawaharlal on Monday appealed to residents to be prepared for another lockdown as a decision to this effect will be taken in a couple of days.

During the phone-in programme on Sunday, a majority of the residents in the Fort Town also expressed the need to reimpose strict lockdown to contain the spread of the virus, Hari Jawaharlal added.

However, following this development, a few traders have appealed that shops, hotels, tiffin centers and other commercial establishments be allowed to stay open from 7 am to 2 pm. Currently, commercial establishments have been operating from 7 am to 12 noon in several towns, including Parvathipuram, Saluru and Bobbili. TNN
