Liquor vends to stay shut during weekend curfew in Mohali

In the modifications, liquor vends will remain closed during the weekend curfew. The odd-even opening of shops in urban areas has been discontinued. Private Offices are allowed to open without any separate permission, but with 50 per cent staff.

Besides, restrictions regarding number of passengers travelling in personal vehicles stand withdrawn. However, they continue to be applicable on commercial vehicles/ taxis. Meanwhile, shops can remain open between 5 am to 5 pm, but no shopping malls or single/ multi-brand retail standalone shops will open except shops selling essential items in these complexes.

Market Associations have been asked to appoint Covid and display their names prominently. They will be personally responsible for ensuring adherence to Covid guidelines. The DC further said that restaurants and eateries can open only for home delivery till 9 pm but no dine-in or take-away. Both management and customer will be held liable for any violations.

“Services provided by self-employed persons such as electricians, plumbers, IT repairs, etc will also be allowed,” the orders read.

Essential shops and small local shops inside gated residential societies which service local needs will be allowed to open.
