Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led state government had earlier decided to allow standalone shops including liquor shops to open in green, orange and red zone areas, but not in containment zones.
As per the guidelines, only five non-essential shops can be opened in each lane. However, there is no restriction on the number of shops selling essential items opening.
The government has issued a list of guidelines informing what will be allowed or not allowed in different zones of the state.
