Final Hurdle Cleared!

The plan for 24x7 operation of shops and establishments is set to be green lighted soon. The ambiguity regarding the accountability has been resolved, and the labor department has been entrusted with granting permissions.

• Final Nod with Labour Wing: According to sources, the labor department will grant 24-hour permissions directly, bypassing the need for prior police approval. Initially delayed by involvement from both labor and police departments, the labor department has now requested sole responsibility for granting permissions. The police department retains the ability to recommend permission revocation in cases of illegal activities. A revised plan will soon be issued.

• Aim to Dive Business: Shops can apply for 24X7 operation permission from the labor department for a fee of Rs. 10,000. Wine shops regulated by the Excise Act are excluded from continuous operations. Malls are likely to seek permission to attract more customers, especially on weekends. Individual shops though face challenges, as a local textile owner highlighted the importance of having multiple shops open in an area to attract customers.
