Unlock 5.0: Citizens hope relaxations to restore normalcy

Aura

ngabad, Sept 28:
The Unlock 5.0 situation will commence from October 1. Hence, the business fraternity, priests and others all are eager to know the relaxation to be granted by the state government during the next phase.

Aurangabad is the Tourism capital of Maharashtra. The tourism industry is waiting for the green signal of the state government to resume its regular business. The industry in other states had continued their business. The monuments all over the country have been open, except Maharashtra. The tourism service providers are going through severe loss, and the worst hit is the hotel industry.

The state machinery is doing its best to restore normalcy in phases. Presently, the shops in commercial markets are allowed to keep open till 7 pm. Hence the merchants are hoping that if two hours relaxation is granted, then they could keep open their shutters till 9 pm, like before. The restaurants are entirely closed, and the staff had left with no work. The staff is facing monetary problems. Presently, the restaurants are allowed to provide parcel service, but the owners grieved that the customers are visiting their places to take parcels. Hence it is hoped that the restaurants would be allowed to open in the first week of October. The beer bars play a vital role in the economy. The parcel service is not satisfactory. The citizens are also hoping that the central government would allow operation of more trains from the city.

The places of worships are also closed for devotees for the past several months. The political parties are playing politics on the issue. Hence it is hoped that the state government will grant permission with the condition.
