Kolkata: 11 areas added to containment list

A day after the list was updated, another 11 areas have been marked as containment zones on Friday. The new entrants have taken the count of containment zones to 37, the highest in the past month. And most of the new zones are in pockets which have had consistent presence on the list earlier — most importantly Ballygunge, Bhowanipore, Beliaghata and Behala. According to the police and KMC, the entry of some of these zones is part of the larger strategy to lockdown portions of the worst-affected areas, part by part, to contain the disease instead of doing so at one go.
