Srinagar: Markets were reopened with the process of partial 'unlock' beginning after lockdown was in force for nearly a month in view of the rise in corona infection cases in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The authorities have informed about the same. The new guidelines issued by the administration on Sunday have allowed opening of shops at intervals of one day.

While public transport is allowed to ply in orange Zone districts with a capacity of 50 percent passengers, public transport will remain closed in red category districts. After some improvement in the covid-19 situation in the union territory in the last two weeks, the administration has started the process of relaxing the lockdown from Sunday and has decided to keep the 'corona curfew' in force only till night and over the weekend. Deciding to relax the 'corona curfew', the Jammu and Kashmir 'Pradesh' Executive Committee (JKSEC) has asked all educational institutions, including private coaching centres, to remain closed till June 15.

All cinema halls, multiplexes, clubs, gyms, spas will also remain closed till further orders. Out of 10 districts of Kashmir Valley, Pulwama, Anantnag, Baramulla, Budgam and Kupwara have been placed in Red while Srinagar, Shopian, Ganderbal, Kulgam and Bandipura have been placed in Orange Category. In Jammu also, policemen are constantly monitoring the partially open markets and asking people to follow appropriate behaviour in respect of covid.
