Telangana govt. told to file compliance report
Instructing the State government to file a compliance report over the Union government’s guidelines to check spread of COVID-19 within four days, the Telangana High Court on Friday declined to impose restrictions on New Year celebrations in the State.
After hearing a batch of PIL and writ petitions related to COVID, a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N. Tukaramji said that imposing restrictions depended on the situation prevailing in the State. “The situation in the State is normal,” the bench said and declined to pass any interim restrictions on New Year events.
The bench, however, made it clear that managements of clubs, pubs, bars and hotels should allow only those persons who were fully vaccinated. Staff members working at these places should get COVID-19 tests conducted 48 hours prior to attending to duties.
