West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday (8 June) announced that lockdown will be extended in the state till 30 June.
This announcement comes at a time when the state government has announced a slew of lockdown relaxations. These relaxations include allowing restaurants, hotels and malls to reopen while enforcing social distancing norms.
Private offices have also been allowed to start functioning from today (8 June) provided they take the required precautions. Bengal had earlier announced a lockdown till 15 June which has now been extended till the end of this month.
States like Maharashtra, Punjab, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have already announced a lockdown till 30 June but with relaxations.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
