Cuttack: Three major markets in Cuttack have been divided into three separate regions each to avoid crowding in order to contain the spread of COVID-19, informed Cuttack DCP Akhileswar Singh on Monday.
While Balu Bazar and Chhatra Bazar will be divided into three parts tomorrow, Krushak Bazar which was earlier in two parts will be divided into one more part. Efforts are on to disperse the crowd which has been noticed in the market areas.
