Kolkata: Cinema halls and open-air theatres will be allowed to operate in West Bengal from October 1 with a limited number of participants, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday.
She also said musical, dance, and magic shows would be permitted in the state from next month.
“To return to normalcy, Jatras, Plays, OATs, Cinemas & all musical, dance, recital & magic shows shall be allowed to function with 50 participants or less from 1 Oct, subject to adherence to physical distancing norms, wearing of masks & compliance to precautionary protocols,” the chief minister said on Twitter.
