Curbs may be eased in six zones in Bhopal after May 17

BHOPAL: Lockdown 4.0, starting from May 18, will not come with major relaxations in the state capital. As per the suggestions sent by district-level crisis management committee to the state government, six zones of Bhopal, including Kolar, Hoshangabad road, Ratibadh, Govindpura industrial area, BHEL and Bairagarh may get some relaxation during lockdown.
Government offices situated in these six zones will be allowed to run with 33 per cent attendance, but employees who are living in containment zones will not be allowed to come out of their zones, said sources.Infrastructure and construction related works in these zones can be permitted, but workers should stay at construction sites and work. Garment shops and other outlets, where there are chances of crowd gathering, will not be allowed. Other shops may be allowed in local markets but there could be provision, where one shop after every three shops can be allowed to remain open.
Hotels and restaurants owners may be allowed to do home delivery, people working in these six zones should also be the residents of those areas. They will have to carry their address proof and produce the same if required by law-enforcement agencies, said sources. People living in hot spots and containment areas will not be allowed to go to other areas and people from other areas will also be not allowed to go to containment zones, added sources.
Sources also said, these are all suggestions sent to the government and final call will be taken by the state government on this issue, and as far as opening of liquor shops is concerned, state government will decide on it and not the district administration.
