Shops selling essentials see less crowding across Meghalaya

A Reporter

SHILLONG: With the Meghalaya government allowing shops selling essential commodities to open from April 20, there is an evident decrease in overcrowding in different parts of the city.

It may be mentioned that the government last week announced that shops in various localities will be open for four days – Monday to Thursday – while wholesaler shops will be open for three days – Friday to Sunday.

On the first day (Monday), there was a bit of overcrowding in some shops. However on Tuesday, this drastically dropped.

“The purpose of allowing shops to open continuously for four days is to maintain social distancing and the government has achieved success in this regard,” one lady from Laban told this scribe.
