Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh on Thursday (15 October) decided not to open multiplexes and cinema halls.
“Amarinder Singh-led Punjab government decides not to open multiplexes, cinema halls and entertainment parks in the state yet,” Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Raveen Thukral informed in a tweet.
“However, Ramlilas to be allowed with strict Covid protocols,” he added.
The Centre had allowed the opening of the cinema halls and multiplexes across the country from 15 October but with certain conditions, including 50 per cent occupancy. However, the exhibition of films was not allowed in the containment zones.
The cinema halls and multiplexes have been shut since the end of March due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
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?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
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.
