The Chief Minister issued advisory and strict guidelines that need to be followed along with lockdown norms. Preventive measures to contain COVID-19 and strict self-regulation will have to be implemented once the shootings resume. The CM also urged the officials to come up with guidelines to ensure safety during the shootings. The CM's decision was taken as lakhs of people's lives are hanging in the balance as their employment depends on the shootings.
