“Delhi Disaster Management Authority withdraws all restrictions as situation improves n people facing hardships due to loss of jobs.

“Schools to function fully offline from 1 Apr. Fines for not wearing masks reduced to Rs 500. All shud continue following Covid Appropriate Behaviour. Govt will keep strict watch,” Kejriwal tweeted.
