Delhi Simplifies Business Licenses, Removing Police Involvement
The Delhi government is making it easier for businesses to operate.
They've changed the rules so businesses like hotels and restaurants don't need permission from the police anymore.
Instead, they'll get licenses from local city services.
This should make things faster and easier for business owners.
The goal is to help businesses, encourage new ones, and make Delhi more business-friendly.
