The Uttarakhand government on Wednesday denied reports of a complete lockdown in the state from July 16 to July 31 and said no such decision has been taken yet.
Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has asked a senior police officer to take stern action against those spreading the false news, an official spokesperson said.
He said reports of a complete lockdown surfacing on social media are "untrue and misleading". No such decision has been taken yet, the spokesperson added.
