who has been advocating greater relaxations to boost the economy, said the
Delhi government will draft its proposal, which will have to be shared with the
Union government by May 15, based on inputs from people and experts.

The AAP
chief said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his video conferencing with all
chief ministers on Monday, sought suggestions from the states and Union
Territories on arrangements post May 17. Kejriwal had appealed to the PM to
categorise only the containment zones as red zones and not all the 11 districts
of Delhi.

The
suggestions will be accepted till 5 pm on Wednesday, Kejriwal said, adding that
the Delhi government plans to send its proposal to the Centre by Thursday. “I
am looking for ideas. There won’t be any voting on the suggestions we receive.
We are also consulting experts, doctors,” he added.

suggestions can be emailed at [email protected], sent on WhatsApp
