Exclusion Sudoku Puzzle (Daily Sudoku League #228)

This Exclusion Sudoku puzzle is my very old creation which I submitted for World Sudoku Championship 2017. This Sudoku puzzle was initially considered for this Sudoku competition but later rejected as given 6 in the center was breaking the theme. Anyway now I am publishing this Exclusion Sudoku in Daily Sudoku League as the 228th Sudoku Puzzle in this Series.

Rules of Exclusion Sudoku Puzzle

Standard Sudoku Rules apply. In addition, a small number at the intersection of 4 adjacent cells indicates that this number cannot be placed in any of these 4 cells.
