CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday sought the views of the DCs on opening of gyms, and said he will take the final decision on this and other relaxations, including night curfew, in Unlock 3.0 after receiving their inputs.
At a VC review meeting with the DCs and health officials on Covid containment and management arrangements, the Chief Minister said while the central government had announced certain relaxations, including permission for gyms, as per the Unlock 3.0 guidelines, he will decide on the same after an assessment of the ground situation.
He asked the DCs to think through and submit their views to Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan, following which a final decision will be taken by the government after due deliberations. Taking serious note of reports of violation of social distancing and other Covid protocols by some shopkeepers, he directed the DCs to order shut-down of shops for three days in the case of the first offence and for a higher number of days on subsequent violations.
