New Delhi: Lt Governor Anil Baijal on Friday (July 31) rejected the Delhi government's decision to allow hotels and weekly markets under Unlock 3, citing "fragile" situation amid coronavirus pandemic.

The lieutenant governor is understood to have taken this decision as the COVID-19 situation continues to be "fragile" and the threat is still "far from over".

Earlier on Thursday, the Arvind Kejriwal government decided to allow hotels to reopen in the city, besides allowing weekly markets to open on a trial basis for seven days with social distancing and all other COVID 19 measures.
