2021-06-14 11

After being shut for almost two months, restauranteurs in the national capital breathed a sigh of relief on Sunday and welcomed the Delhi government's decision to allow dine-in facilities to operate with 50 per cent occupancy.

Dine-in facilities were barred in Delhi since April 17, when the first weekend lockdown was imposed in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection in the city.

The Delhi government had first imposed a weekly lockdown on April 19, which was then extended periodically till May 31, after which it started a phased reopening from June 1.
