With the coronavirus outbreak in India, the government authorities extended the nationwide lockdown for two weeks more. But while they imposed the extension of the lockdown, they also opened up few shops and businesses including the liquor shops. It was also said that people must maintain social distancing and follow the necessary precautions. But seems like things didn't go as planned. India allowed liquor shops to remain open on Monday, May 4, 2020, leading to chaotic scenes across cities. Many television celebrities also took to their social media handles and requested authorities to close down the liquor shops due to the chaos and no social distancing maintained.
As per reports, there was a lot of commotion arisen outside several liquor shops. People went all out on the roads to visit the liquor shops to buy liquor after over a month. Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma totally disagreed with the act and took to his Instagram handle to share an Insta story of the crowded queue in front of the wine shop. Along with a picture, Kapil Sharma also wrote, “Ye lo social distancing ki aisi ki taisi. Bewakoof log, sharab se hi, corona se marenge yeh.” Check out his story here.

In a recent interview with a news portal, Aishwarya Sakhuja said that with the liquor shops now being open, people are crowding the shops.
