Two-passenger taxis will be allowed, they said, adding that on buses, 20 passengers are likely to be able to travel under strict social distancing rules.

“The government has suggested that the opening of markets, complexes and shopping malls should be allowed in Delhi. However, non-essential goods stores in shopping complexes and malls should operate in an odd way,” said a source.

In the next two or three days, the government will present a standard operating procedure to allow economic activities from Monday in the National Capital.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal said different economic activities will be allowed in the city starting May 18 based on decisions made by the Center regarding the relaxation of the confinement.
