Wagholi, September 11, 2020: Against the backdrop of increasing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in Wagholi, the Gram Panchayat has called for a five- days ‘Janta Curfew’ which will be observed from September 12 to September 17.
Vasundhara Ubale, Sarpanch, Wagholi said, “I appeal people to abide by the administrative rules, to stay at home and cooperate to control the further spread of COVID in Wagholi region. Those who are working outside, try to stay outside or at their workplaces.”
