New Delhi: Lt. Governor VK Saxena has approved the proposal to exempt 314 applications of hotel and restaurant owners, online eateries, medicines, and other essential commodities, to be able to operate on 24x7 basis in the National Capital, starting from next week.
Such applications were pending since 2016. The LG has directed that notification to this effect should be issued within seven days.
The decision, providing exemption under Sections 14, 15 and 16 of the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act, 1954, is expected to boost employment generation and promote a positive and favourable business environment that is a prerequisite for economic growth.
