Tamil Nadu, Chennai
The
Tamil Nadu government announced re-opening of textile showrooms and jewelleries
in 23 districts from June 28, 2021 by relaxing lockdown norms. This was done
due to pleas and opinions from people and trader’s bodies.
The
establishments can operate from 9 am to 7 pm with 50 per cent customers and
cannot run air conditioners in their shops, according to the Chief Minister M K
Stalin. Earlier, the government had allowed a number of relaxations after
categorising the 38 districts in the state into three separate groups in
keeping with the incidence of covid-19 cases for the purpose of easing curbs.
The

and four in Cauvery delta region like Thanjavur, have relatively higher number
of coronavirus cases. The 23 districts in the second category include Ariyalur,
Cuddalore, Dharmapuri, Dindigul, Kallakurichi, Kanyakumari, Krishnagiri,
Madurai, Perambalur, Pudukottai, Ramanathapuram, Ranipet and Sivaganga.
The government’s relaxations in lockdown
norms, include re-opening
