NOIDA : Liquor shops outside containment zones in Noida and Greater Noida can open from 10 am to 9 pm, Excise Department officials said on Monday.
Liquor sales were prohibited during the nationwide lockdown that came into force on March 25 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and had resumed on May 3 with restricted timings of 10 am to 7 pm.
Now with further relaxations in the lockdown from Monday, the sale timings have been revised, a local official said, citing an order issued by the Uttar Pradesh government in Lucknow. "All liquor shops, including model shops that are outside coronavirus hotspots or containment zones, can now remain open from 10 am to 9 pm," the official added.
