Correspondent KOHIMA, OCT 27 (NPN) : As part of graded reopening of activities, the state government has announced Unlock 8 starting from November 1 till December 15.

The decision was taken at high-powered committee (HPC) meeting chaired by chief minister Neiphiu Rio on Tuesday.

Addressing a press conference at his office chamber civil secretariat, the minister planning and coordination, Neiba Kronu, who is also HPC spokesperson, said the meeting decided to go for Unlock 8 after considering the briefings presented by the department of health and family welfare.

For reopening of schools from class I-IV in urban areas, Kronu said the district task forces (DTFs) have been tasked to see whether classes could resume or not.

Kronu said that HPC has also decided to lift night curfew and allow public transport services including buses and taxis to run with 100% capacity.

Urging the citizens to take the vaccine, the minister has asked the DTFs to put more effort in organizing vaccination drives.

Kronu also informed that the annual Hornbill Festival would be held, but the number of days for the festival would be decided later. He said vaccinated tourists would be allowed to visit the state during the festival.
