Ahead of lockdown, people flock liquor shop in Nagpur, flout social distancing norms
Amid a spike in COVID-19 cases in the state, social distancing norms were flouted in Maharashtra's Nagpur as people gathered outside a liquor store on Friday night ahead of a week-long lockdown starting on Monday. Similarly, hundreds of people were seen flouting social distancing norms at a cotton market in the city.
Due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra, the state government on Thursday decided to impose a lockdown in Nagpur district from March 15 to 21.
Only essential services such as vegetable and fruit shops and milk booths will stay open, according to the order issued by the district administration.
