The Delhi government has allowed the reopening of religious places in the national capital for devotees with strict adherence to Covid guidelines and standard operating procedures.
Religious places in the national capital were closed for devotees for over five months, since April 19, following the imposition of a lockdown due to the severe second wave of Covid infections.
The Delhi Disaster Management Authority issued fresh Covid-19 guidelines on Thursday. Although the DDMA order permitted the entry of devotees to religious places, it prohibited large gatherings there. It also directed the district magistrates and deputy commissioners of police to ensure strict compliance with Covid appropriate behaviour in view of the upcoming festivals.
The authority in its fresh Covid-19 guidelines stated that fairs, food stalls, rallies and processions will not be permitted during festivals in Delhi.
