Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that public activities will now be categorised into essential and non-essential ones, with the latter closed till March 31.
Elaborating with an example, the Chief Minister said that distribution of ration is important (it will be an essential activity) but to apply for a ration card right now will be treated as non-essential.
“All non-essential public dealing activities are stopped till March 31.
“Only essential public dealing activities will continue. All non-essential staff are being directed to work from home. All permanent and contractual employees will be paid for this period,” Kejriwal tweeted.
