Besides, shop owners at different points across the area under DMP authority have been asked to keep their business establishments open from 6:00am to 2:00pm. DMP Deputy Commissioner (Media and Public Relations) Md Masudur Rahman told media that the order will remain in force until further notice is issued in this regard.
Medicine stores and emergency services will not be under the purview of this directive, according to the DMP, which sought support from general people to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
