Madras High Court directs Tamil Nadu Government to keep 50 percent theatre occupancy till January 11
The Madras High Court has issued a statement to the Tamil Nadu government to keep the theatre restriction in place till January 11.
Following a series of government orders and announcements, yet another twist has come in the matter of theatre occupancy in the state of Tamil Nadu. The Madras High Court has now ordered the state government to maintain the 50 percent occupancy in cinema halls till January 11. This comes after the center’s order to the Tamil Nadu Government to revoke its announcement of relaxations in the matter of theatre occupancy.
In the direct order issued to the state government by the Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, the Ministry of Home Affairs had asked the TN government to follow the guidelines and SOP provided by the Central Government seriously. It was stated in the order that the approval of 100 percent occupancy theatres will dilute the previous order issued by the MHA to prevent and control the spread of pandemic especially in the containment zones.
