Cinemas in Madhya Pradesh will be permitted to operate at cent per cent capacity. The written directive is still to be issued but government spokesperson Narottam Mishra told a CCCA (Central Circuit Cine Association) delegation consisting of Basant Ladha, O.P. Goyal and Sandeep Jain, in Bhopal on 1st November that cinemas in the state can function at full capacity from 5th November.
If the formal directive does not come by 5th November, multiplexes belonging to the national chains as also multiplexes in the major cities of M.P. would not be able to function at full capacity. However, cinemas in smaller towns as well as stand-alone multiplexes in the bigger towns and cities might go ahead with admitting people to fit in full houses.
