The new SOP will be released at 11am on Wednesday. State health minister Keshav Mahanta will release the new covid rules through a press conference.
But earlier at around 7.30pm this evening chief minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sharma will hold an important meeting with the health department and disaster mitigation department.
Chief Minister Sharma will take a final decision after reviewing all the information submitted by the health department and disaster mitigation department regarding the next SOP.
Health Minister Keshav Mahanta said that the new SOP Evening Act, which will be released on Wednesday, is likely to lead to considerable relaxation in inter-district travel.
Minister Keshav Mahanta also said that the opening of schools and colleges will also be discussed in today's meeting.
However, minister Mahanta said only chief minister Himanta Biswa Sharma will take all the decisions on what will be in the new SoP.
It may be recalled that the sop evening law released earlier on August 17 was scheduled from 7 pm instead of 6 pm.
