Shopping malls with 33 pct stores opening be allowed: Kejriwal suggests in letter to PM Modi

New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi offering suggestions on the resumption of economic activities during phase four of coronavirus lockdown.

In his letter, Kejriwal suggested that shopping malls should be allowed to function with the condition that only 33 per cent of their shops will open in a day.

"We want there should not be any relaxation in containment zones. Outside containment zones, several economic activities should be started, but social distancing and masks should be mandatory," the letter read.

"We think by relaxing the lockdown, there would be an increase in coronavirus cases. But we have arranged hospitals, oxygen, ventilator, ambulance, ICU etc to tackle the situation," he added.

This comes after PM Modi earlier this week held a meeting with chief ministers asking them to come up with suggestions on measures during the lockdown 4.
