Maharashtra Has Allowed Standalone Liquor Shops In High-Risk Red Zones Outside Containment Areas.

Days after the centre released guidelines for the coronavirus lockdown’s third phase, Maharashtra, the worst-hit state in the country, has allowed standalone liquor shops in high-risk Red zones outside containment areas.”Even in the Red zone districts, there are some areas where coronavirus infection has been not prevalent since over a month now. These areas are known as non-containment zones,” Bhushan Gagrani, Maharashtra Principal Secretary, told reporters.”Such non-containment areas will have some relaxations, wherein the shops selling non-essential commodities, like clothes, footwear, liquor, stationery, among others will be opened,” he added.
