Local authorities will decide whether or not to reopen non-essential stores, he said. Thackeray also mentioned that essential shops will now be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the non-essential items will be delivered via e-commerce in districts where exemptions will be granted. Due to the approaching Kharif season, stores selling agricultural items will also remain open.
