Kejriwal Hopes Delhi Theatres Will Strictly Follow SOPs

Ushering in a new era of movie watching, the Centre allowed multiplexes, cinema halls and theatres to reopen from Thursday within the framework of a set of SOPs. The Ministry of Home Affairs left it to states to take a final call on the matter. Sushant Singh Rajput’s last theatrical release “Chhichhore” is among the films that will have a big screen re-release as cinemas in several parts of the country get ready to open after seven months in the shadow of a pandemic.

As per the guidelines, cinemagoers will have to download the Aarogya Setu app on their mobile. There is a complete ban on eating and drinking while watching the film. The audience will have to be seated according to alternative seating arrangements and there will be a cross mark on the seat that cannot be occupied. The entire system of purchasing tickets will be online and the air conditioning will be adjusted as per laid down guidelines. Entry and exit gates, seats, and lobbies will be sanitised from time to time and the cinema halls will be cleaned after every show, it said.

Everyone in the cinema hall will be required to stay in masks and management will have to provide sanitisers to the viewers, it added. PTI VIT HMB 10142015 NNNN.
