Liquor Shops to be closed in Mumbai
Liquor shops will not be allowed to open from today in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said in an order issued late on Tuesday night. Only groceries, medical stores, and chemist shops will be allowed to remain open in the city, it said. The relaxations given by the Maharashtra government to run certain non-essential services and shops are withdrawn, the order said. This is done due to overcrowding, people not maintaining social distance. With this move, Mumbai joins the administrations of Solapur, Aurangabad, Jalna, Buldhana, and Amravati districts. Which had on Monday issued instructions that liquor shops will not be allowed to open.
