Some screened Master to a full house. The Chennai Police registered 11 cases against 10 theatres until Wednesday evening for violating the 50% seating capacity rule and COVID-19 safety guidelines during the screening of the Vijay-starrer
Master.
The police said the theatres at Jafferkhanpet, Ayanavaram, Koyambedu and other places in the south and east zones were found violating the norms, and cases were registered under Section 188 (disobedience to an order promulgated by public servant) and Section 269 (negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) of the Indian Penal Code. Some theatres were slapped with a fine of ₹5,000.
50% occupancy limit should not be breached, says Madurai Bench
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday took note of the fact that crowds were gathering at cinema theatres for hours together to buy tickets for the Pongal film releases without maintaining physical distance or wearing face masks. It directed the State government and the theatre owners to ensure that COVID-19 guidelines were strictly followed.
The government submitted that the order allowing 100% occupancy in theatres had been revoked and a fresh order had been issued to allow 50% occupancy in compliance with the guidelines issued by the Union government. Permission for extra shows had been granted, with the welfare of the theatre owners kept in mind, Advocate-General Vijay Narayan said.
