The city is moving fast towards fulfilling the criteria of Level 1 relaxations but even Level 2 continues to remain a distant dream. The civic body is being over-cautious about lifting the curbs. However, retailers and hoteliers are of the opinion that even if the various levels of relaxations are not implemented soon, the operation timings should be extended and they should be allowed to open shops on weekends from next week. They further demanded that the civic chief should look at the larger picture and take steps accordingly to revive the economy.
