Lockdown3.0: What to open and closed for Assam & NE

Assam and the North-Eastern states are relatively free from the National Wide Lockdown3.0 as it is mostly Red zone oriented and none of the districts of Assam are in the Red Zone..

In Assam, most of the activities including passenger bus and taxi serves will open as per the new guidelines with some restriction like 50% passenger in bus and 1 passenger in Ola-Uber. However, Hotel, restaurant, Cnemal hall and religious places shall continue to remain closed for now.

However, Assam Government will take the final decision on the amount of relaxation by separate order in a day or two, informs Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.
