MHA order: Comm gap confuses cops, store owners

The first day of opening of shops in non-containment zones was fraught with confusions. In the first half of the day, many preferred to wait and watch. At many places, some shop owners who did roll their shutters up were asked by cops to pull them down again. A communication gap regarding what was allowed to operate led to many barber shops opening up and frantic calls being made about liquor stores. Eventually, the MHA notification reached everyone, saying the exemption was not for liquor, barber or paan-bidi shops.
