October 15, 2020: The movie buffs of Assam were waiting eagerly for the opening of the theatres on Thursday. However, the state government poured cold water on their expectations.

While the theatres in many parts of the country opened for public after the Centre's order, the movie halls in Assam remained shut. As the Assam government did not issue any SOP for reopening of the theatres, the owners could not open the same for the public on Thursday.

Many movie lovers going to watch movies on the first day of opening of theatres after over 6 months had to return from the cinema halls without watching it.

The Assam government is yet to announce the SOP for the theatres.
