The Chief Minister said that the Delhi government will consider these suggestions and forward them to the Centre on Thursday.

Barring the COVID-19 containment zones, economic activity should be allowed to resume in the national capital, Kejriwal had said on Monday during a video-conference chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the chief ministers of various states.

"Should we start buses, metros, auto, taxis, schools or markets? We want suggestions on what all should start and what all should be kept under the lockdown. It is obvious that the social distancing should be maintained," Kejriwal said.

Not just the public, he said, he will also seek suggestions from experts and doctors.
