The information and broadcasting ministry has recommended to the home ministry that cinema halls be allowed to reopen in August. The formula suggested is of alternate seating in alternate rows. Cinema owners feel screening films at 25 per cent capacity is not a viable option.
I&B Secretary Amit Khare indicated this at a closed-door industry interaction with the CII Media Committee on Friday. He said his opposite number in the Home Ministry, Ajay Bhalla, will take the final call. Khare said that he has recommended that cinema halls may be allowed to reopen all over India as early as August 1 - or at the latest, around August 31.
