The second phase of 10-day lockdown in Pune will start on Sunday and shall continue till July 23, to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in the city. During the lockdown, shops selling essential commodities will be allowed to function along with medical, hospitals, and milk supply.
Joint Commissioner of Pune Police Ravindra Shisve said, "Earlier it was decided that shops related to essential services will remain open between 08:00 am to 02:00 pm but since shops will be opening after five days tomorrow, it is expected that people may come out in large number to buy essentials which may lead to violating social distancing norms."
