In view of the heightened risk of COVID-19 transmission, Kailali District Administration Office has imposed a ban on public gatherings.

The DAO has come up with the restriction order in Kailali taking into consideration the potential crowd-up of people in the festivals such as Gaura, Haritalika Teej, and Shreekrishna Janmashtami.

The decision was taken to ban big public gatherings as the risk of COVID-19 transmission is high in the district.
