The decision has been considered after earlier in the day, the Shopping Centres Association of India members had met Yediyurappa. The association urged the CM to allow malls to be opened from next week. After the meet, Yediyurappa quoted his decision to PTI saying.“Malls (Shopping Centres) association members have met me. I will discuss with my cabinet colleagues. We are discussing giving certain concessions with some conditions. No decision has been taken yet.” The state government is ready to allow malls operate with riders after July 5 when the current unlock guidelines will be reviewed.
