DELHI LG APPROVES 83 MORE ESTABLISHMENTS FOR 24-HOUR OPERATIONS

Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has approved the Delhi government’s proposal to allow 83 more commercial establishments here to operate round the clock, Raj Niwas officials said on Friday. This is the fourth such proposal to be cleared by Saxena since October 2022 when 314 establishments were granted exemptions to operate on a 24×7 basis, followed by 55 in April and 155 in June, they added.

“With the fresh 83 approvals, there will now be 607 such shops and establishments situated at various locations in the national capital that will give impetus to economic activities,” an official said.

Saxena has granted the exemption under sections 14, 15 and 16 of the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954, which enables commercial establishments to operate on a 24X7 basis.
