The Manipur government has eased Covid restrictions on certain activities, such as banking and home delivery services, by removing them from the purview of the curfew imposed in seven districts of the state.
The state home department in an order issued late Tuesday night said the step was necessitated as the complete closure of certain critical services had led to difficulty in providing government facilities, and was causing undue hardship to the public.
As per the order, banking services will be permitted with limited staff on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 am to 2.30 pm.
Home delivery services for food items, vegetables, groceries, medicines, among others, will also be allowed to resume.
