Filmmaker Karan Johar has asked the Delhi government to permit cinema halls to function which might be closed after the regulations under yellow alert as in keeping with the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) had been imposed because of surging COVID-19 cases.
“We urge the Delhi Government to allow cinemas to operate. Cinemas are equipped with better ability to ensure a hygienic environment while maintaining social distancing norms as compared to other out-of-home settings. @LtGovDelhi @ArvindKejriwal @OfficeOfDyCM #cinemasaresafe,” Karan wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
Karan’s tweet comes days after the Delhi Disaster Management Authority on Tuesday ordered the closure of schools, colleges, cinemas, and gyms with instant effect and positioned numerous regulations at the functioning of stores and public transport as a yellow alert was sounded under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) amid the rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the country.
A day ago, actors Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon backed the Multiplex Association of India’s plea to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to rethink the brand new guidelines and permit the operation of theatres with the right guidelines and protocols in place.
