The GEA clarified that necessary amendments are made in directives related to licenses issued to hold live shows at restaurants and cafes so that the licenses will expire on Dec. 30.
The license holders need to submit requests to re-issue licenses after the expiry of the ban period. It is also instructed that such restaurants and cafes shall be registered with the electronic services gate of the authority.
