New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: As the national capital continues to witness a significant decline in COVID-19 cases, the Kejriwal government in the city is expected to announce more relaxations from the coronavirus-induced lockdown curbs imposed in the city. The Delhi Unlock process started on June 1 with the AAP govt allowing construction activities and factories in Delhi keeping the lowest strata of the society -- labourers and migrant workers -- in mind.
Now, the Kejriwal government is expected to announce several other relaxations under the Delhi Unlock 3. According to media reports, the Delhi government is likely to announce the resumption of hotels in the national capital with strict adherence to the COVID-19 protocol from June 14. Apart from hotels, the dine-in in restaurants is also expected to resume in Delhi from Monday.
This came as hoteliers and businessmen who own restaurants in Delhi have urged the state government to allow their resumption and are hopeful that in the government's meeting with the DDMA, the resumption of hotels and restaurants will be discussed. Besides, it has been also reported that the Delhi government will also allow Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) to reopen from Monday to resume the issuing of driving licenses.
Earlier last week on June 7, the Delhi government further relaxed the lockdown curbs and allowed several other activities including markets on an odd-even basis, metro services, offices with limited capacity among others.
