Unlock begins in Guwahati, shops open after 3 weeks

PUBLISHED:

GUWAHATI: After the total lockdown for three weeks, Guwahati has unlocked itself from Monday. The Assam Government has allowed the opening of shops, business establishments in the city with some conditions.

Most parts of the city limped back to normalcy today as unlock begins.

Shops and business establishments have been allowed to operate on a rotational basis from 7 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday — those on one side of a street on a certain day, and those on the other, the next day. Courier and e-commerce services have been allowed to function on those five days, while restaurants can function for take-away services.

While cab aggregators, auto-rickshaws and rickshaws have been allowed to ply following sanitisation norms, private vehicles — except those on duty — are prohibited. Malls, cinema halls and gyms continue to be closed.
