While the city has become eligible to move to Level 1, where people can see opening up of various services with regular timings, the BMC has decided to continue to enforce restrictions. This has not gone down well with retailers, traders and hoteliers.

Unhappy, the business community has raised concerns with the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. They have claimed that the restrictions are severely affecting their businesses and so, many customers are turning to places like Thane and Navi Mumbai to shop and dine.
