Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown on 24 March, liquor and tobacco shops were closed.

However, the government has now permitted liquor and tobacco shops to reopen in green, orange, and red zones (barring the containment zones).

These shops will be allowed to stay open until 7 pm, after which you won’t be able to step out. Also, if the liquor store nearest to your places falls inside a containment zone, it will remain closed.

While some stores are indeed trying their best to maintain social distancing, others are unable to stop people from crowding.

Some photos also show how circles have been sketched outside stores to specify where customers should be standing while waiting for their turn.
