Bengal CM Allows 100% Theatre Occupancy At Kolkata Film Festival
Inaugurating the Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) on January 8, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee permitted 100% occupancy in theatres for the week-long 26th edition of the festival. She also asked theatre owners to ensure that sanitization is carried out after every show and people wear masks and carry hand sanitizers. The CM’s decision came just after the Tamil Nadu government, under the direction of the Centre, revoked its decision allowing 100% occupancy at cinema halls.
