“In the wake of drop in COVID-19 cases in the state, the weekend curfew on Sunday will not be imposed anymore. The markets will open normally like weekdays,” ANI tweeted.
A number of women organisations had urged the Chief Minister to lift the Sunday curfew in view of the Raksha Bandhan on August 22.
Cinema hall owners were also asking the state government to end the weekly closure since it was affecting cinema business.
The government spokesman said that markets will now observe their earlier weekly closure on designated days.
