Cuttack: In its bid to contain coronavirus spread, the Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) declared a part of Cuttack City as containment zone on Sunday.
According to CMC Commissioner Ananya Das, as many as 38 buildings in Sector-9 of the CDA area have been declared as containment zone. The decision was taken after a resident of the area tested positive for COVID-19.
