Lockdown 4.0 in Lucknow: Markets to open from May 20; home delivery of food allowed as well!

In a bid to keep the economy afloat and to further make the current situation convenient for the residents, the Uttar Pradesh Government is granting us some major relaxations attached with stringent rules. From May 20, certain businesses can operate thrice a week in Lucknow from 7AM till 7PM while keeping the regulations in mind.

The shop owners are advised to sanitise their premises on May 20 before opening for public. All restaurants, bakeries and sweet shops can start home delivery of products from May 21.

The officials in Lucknow have made a plan to open shops and markets in Lucknow on an 'alternate day' basis. This means that shops on one side of the road will open on one day while shops on the other side of the road will open the next day. All markets and shops except for those involved in essential services will remain shut on one specific day every week. The press release is attached below-
