New Delhi (NVI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that over five lakh people have given suggestions on easing lockdown restrictions in the national capital and most want buses and Metro to open partially.
During a video conference here, Kejriwal said that citizens want public transport and mall to open partially with social distancing in place. He said that many people also wanted “strict action” against those who were not wearing masks.
दिल्लीवासियों, दिल्ली में लॉकडाउन में कितनी ढील दी जाए- इस पर अपने सुझाव देने के लिए बहुत बहुत शुक्रिया। 5 लाख से ज़्यादा सुझाव मिले हैं। आपके सुझावों के आधार पर हम केंद्र सरकार को दिल्ली से संबंधित प्रस्ताव भेजेंगे। https://t.co/hiT4Emefod

“Most people also felt that schools and colleges must remain closed and so should barber shops, salons and spas,” he said.
“Many people also said that hotels should stay closed but restaurants should be opened for take-away and home delivery,” he added.
The Delhi government had on Tuesday sought suggestions from people on the way forward regarding easing lockdown restrictions after the third phase of the lockdown ends on May 17.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal will meet Delhi Lt. Governor Anil Baijal at 4 pm today and brief him on the suggestions to be forwarded to the Centre.
