Confusion prevails in parts of the city over the lockdown timings, especially on when shops selling essential commodities and supermarkets have to stop business.
While the police say that all essential commodities can be sold till 6 pm as announced by the government, the ground reality is different.
In some places, grocery stores and vegetable sellers say they are being asked to shut shop by 11 am. Many supermarkets, including outlets of prominent chains are closing by 12 noon sharp, saying police have asked them to do so.
