Delhi Unlock Guidelines: What’s Open And What’s Closed?
Delhi Unlock Guidelines: The national capital is now seeing a more relaxed state of functioning as markets, malls, and metros start to open up.
On June 5, the Arvind Kejriwal-led government announced that the current restrictions imposed in Delhi will be relaxed. The government came to this decision after the state became better in terms of infection rates and new cases.
The current curfew imposed was however extended for one more week as the situation is still ‘precarious’. But the Delhi government allowed the re-opening of more activities in a phased manner from June 7.
दिल्लीवासियों की मेहनत और अनुशासन की वजह से अब दिल्ली में स्थिति बेहतर हुई है लिहाज़ा अब धीरे-धीरे लॉकडाउन में छूट देते हुए अर्थव्यवस्था को खोलने का वक्त आ गया है। कुछ गतिविधियां खोली जा रही हैं लेकिन हमें पूरी सावधानी के साथ कोरोना से बचने के नियमों का पालन भी करते रहना है। pic.twitter.com/E7VHlfK4UM
