The Madhya Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Nov. 20, 2020, announced the night curfew across five state cities. On Nov. 20, 2020, Chouhan announced night curfew's intrusion on Nov. 21, starting from 10 pm until 6 am the next morning. The decision to impose the night curfew came after Chouhan held a review meeting with health officials to check the situation. Following this, it was announced that night curfew would be imposed in Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Ratlam, and Vidisha. But the night curfew will not hinder the movement of vehicles and laborers working in factories.

Chouhan clarified that the crisis management group collectively would hold meetings in every district on Nov. 21 to review the district level's situation and decided accordingly.
