The Delhi government on Thursday informed the Delhi High Court that it is "actively considering" the option of imposing night curfews or a lockdown in the national capital and this would depend on the Covid-19 situation.

"We're actively considering imposition of lockdown or night curfews but no decision has been taken on it yet," said advocates Sandeep Sethi and Satyakam on behalf of the city government. The submissions came as the court heard a Public Interest Litigation filed by advocate Rakesh Malhotra seeking increasing the Covid-19 testing numbers in the national capital and getting speedy results.
