The central government has announced relaxation of some areas in the new lockdown from April 20 through the Ministry of Home Affairs. This means that more sectors and workers will be allowed to work. Earlier this week, the Home Ministry issued revised guidelines as per section 144, allowing several commercial and private establishments to resume operations from April 20. These establishments may be allowed to operate strictly following physical distance. This includes print and electronic media, DTH services, IT services, government data and call centers, e-commerce companies and their entire supply chain (after obtaining necessary permission). On the instructions of the Home Ministry, people have given different responses. Local circles have conducted a survey on how the state governments should adopt and implement these instructions. 16 thousand people have participated in the survey in the country.
