In a recent move to boost Delhi’s night-time economy, Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena has instructed the Labour Department to streamline the system for granting approvals to businesses operating 24×7 in the city. This streamlined system, known as the single-window system, aims to create an integrated portal for processing applications efficiently and transparently. In addition, Saxena has given approval to 155 establishments to operate round the clock.
Transparency and efficiency are key factors for the Lieutenant-Governor in handling such applications. Therefore, he has instructed officials to create a feedback mechanism to address any issues promptly.
This directive comes at a time when Delhi is looking to promote its night-time economy. Saxena’s moves are an important step towards achieving this goal, and many believe that the city’s businesses will benefit from the streamlined approval process.
The creation of a single-window system is a big relief for businesses, who have struggled with the complex approval process in the past. This new system promises to make it easier for businesses to apply and receive approval to operate round the clock.
Saxena’s recent initiatives and the development of a streamlined process are in line with the Delhi government’s goals of creating a thriving night-time economy. The results of these various initiatives should lead to an increase in economic activity in the city, which will benefit both residents and businesses.
Overall, the move to introduce a ‘single-window’ system for granting of licenses should be welcomed and it is hoped that key players in Delhi’s night-time economy will benefit from this.
