One of the most prominent shopping destinations in the city, Fashion Street, in South Mumbai has reopened after six months. The BMC allowed the stalls to resume business under several conditions, including operating on alternate days. The owners, most of whom had returned to their villages, have started returning to the city.

Fashion Street is located on MG Road, opposite Bombay Gymkhana, closed in March this year as the lockdown hit. BMC had not given the stalls to reopen in June — when a number of businesses started opening in phases — to prevent crowding. With stall owners gone, the market also saw thefts in April and May.
