Sanitation exercises are also been carried out in several parts of the city.
The lockdown is being observed in Siliguri after the Darjeeling district task force announced it as a necessary step to combat the spread of COVID-19. The Darjeeling district task force on Wednesday had declared complete lockdown in 47 wards for seven days starting 9 am due to rising COVID-19 cases.
