Starting today, shops in Chandigarh can operate round the clock every day, as per a new policy aimed at fostering business expansion in the city.
However, liquor shops, bars, and pubs will remain under current regulations and will not be included in this new arrangement.
The initiative to allow shops, including restaurants, sweet shops, grocery stores, and clothing shops, to remain open around the clock, forms a crucial part of efforts aimed at stimulating economic activity and meeting the diverse needs of residents across different times of the day and night.
According to the new policy, all eligible establishments are permitted to operate continuously; however, bars and pubs are subject to specific excise policies that govern their hours of operation, limiting their continuous operation.
