In his new guidelines, the government has made two mandatory vaccine doses while allowing almost all commercial companies and increasing the time of important, non-essential, restaurants etc.
to 10 nights.
Even allowing package services from restaurants all the time.

NMC Additional Commissioner of the City of Ram Joshi told TII that new norms would be implemented effectively.
“There are quite a lot of centers where people can get two doses easily.
We are ready to help the merchant associations, restaurants etc.
to plan and ensure two doses for all staff,” he said.
Convener of Vidarbha Hospitals Association (VHA) Dr.
Anup Marar said that regulations to enter the city from other states, visiting the mall or working in the office might force residents hesitant who were hesitant to vaccinate.
“There is an empty counter in most private private hospitals with bottle vaccines.
In addition, the negative RT-PCR report must be sought from all that enters Maharashtra, as in the case of many states.
Likewise, NMC must make mandatory vaccination and screening From the door to the door, “he said.
Making the condition of two doses as a good step, President of the Maharashtra and Trade (Camit) industry association room, Dipen Agrawal, said that he would encourage people to be fully vaccinated and prevent the third wave.
“But it violates basic rights such as the right to life, personal freedom and livelihood, especially when there is no relationship between full vaccination and continuation of the profession or work.
New norms will increase harassment and inspector Raj,” he said.
Agrawal stated that new norms were not justified, especially considering the rate of vaccination in the state.
“The government cannot confirm enough doses in the center.
The duration between two covishield doses is 12-16 weeks,” he said.
He demanded speed up vaccination drive and gave more time to the owners and shop staff, malls, restaurants, bars, and banquet rooms.
“The first dose conditions can be accepted to a certain extent but it does not apply to groups under 18 years because they have not fulfilled the requirements for vaccination.
I doubt whether mandatory / forced vaccination will withstand judicial supervision,” Agrawal said.
