Maharashtra Government decides to restrict timings of grocery shops

The Maharashtra Government has decided to restrict timings of grocery shops. Now grocery shops in the state will only remain open from 7 am to 11 am. Even after strict restrictions many citizens are found roaming around in the name of grocery purchase. Hence, the state government has imposed these new restrictions.

In order to increase oxygen availability, the state government has instructed all the district administrations to establish oxygen production plants. All the rights in this regard are given to them. Kolhapur and Thane districts have



established oxygen concentration plants in various hospitals using oxygen available in air. Mumbai is planning to have the same in near future. All other administrations have been asked to follow the procedure and rates adopted by these administrations.

Besides this, it is also advised to look at options of procuring oxygen from various industries like paper, petroleum, fertilisers etc. many industries are not using their oxygen plants, that may be asked to repair and use this oxygen for medical purposes.
