The decision to reopen theatres was subject to guidelines issued by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that ‘they will have to follow all the guidelines laid out by the central government,’ according to a report by Livemint.
अब दिल्ली के सभी साप्ताहिक बाज़ार खुल सकेंगे। अभी तक केवल 2 बाज़ार प्रतिदिन प्रति ज़ोन की इजाज़त थी। गरीब लोगों को इस से काफ़ी राहत मिलेगी।
15 अक्तूबर से दिल्ली के सिनेमा हॉल भी खुल सकेंगे। उन्हें केंद्र सरकार द्वारा जारी सभी दिशा निर्देश पालन करने होंगे।
