Amid rising Omicron cases in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued new guidelines on Tuesday for mass gatherings. As per the new orders, gatherings of 200 people will have to get written permission from authorities.

The guidelines said that 50 per cent capacity will be allowed by “strictly maintaining 6×6 feet distance" in in closed places, but only 25 per cent capacity with the same distancing norm will be permitted in open spaces.
