Lockdown Eased In Telangana

After the high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao held on Wednesday, government has decided to ease the lockdown situation in the state with very less possibility of extending it further.

Telangana government announced several decisions covering various sectors including finance, agriculture, public transport, commercial activity and State Formation Day celebrations. These included permitting all shops except malls in Hyderabad to open from Thursday.

Also, government restricted the TSRTC bus services in the state from night curfew restrictions with immediate effect. However, government also decided to allow district bus services to terminate at Imlibun bus stand in addition to Jubilee bus stand. The government has also directed police to allow the passengers having bus tickets in the night-time to reach their homes in the city in autos and taxis.

“The State government has to pay debt installments to the tune of Rs 37,400 crore per year. These installments have to be paid every month without fail since the Centre has not said anything to the Telangana’s request for rescheduling the loans,” KCR said.
