As per the guidelines issued by the state government, shops that don’t sell essential commodities will have to remain shut till April 30.
Hospitals, medicals stores, shops selling vegetables, groceries, dairies and bakeries have been permitted to operate.
Merchants and representatives from the cloth, automobile and vehicle dealerships met Minister of State for Revenue Abdul Sattar and collector Sunil Chavan on Monday night.
“We want the coronavirus spread to come under control and are willing to cooperate for it, but the economy should also run,” said Jagannath Kale, president of the Aurangabad District Vyapari Mahasangh.
