A day ahead of Janta curfew called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, very few passengers were present at Ranip Bus Terminal here.

The bus stand looked isolated with only a few buses parked in their marked lanes to carry passengers.

Prime Minister has called for Janta Curfew on Sunday as part of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
