Coronavirus Outbreak: BMC orders closure of non-essential shops, including liquor stores, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Mumbai

Firstpost  

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai on Tuesday ordered the closure of all non-essential shops in the city, including liquor stores, after there were violations in social distancing norms. This comes days after the Centre issued revised guidelines on lockdown restrictions and granted permission for liquor stores to open across the country. BMC commisioner Praveen Pardeshi issued the order, saying that the COVID-19 situation in Mumbai may deteriorate due to the relaxation measures, and therefore, authorities were withdrawing the relaxations in the city. “Due to above relaxations, there were huge crowds gathering near these shops and it has been impossible to maintain social distancing,” Pardeshi said in the order.
