The government has exempted markets, shops, and eateries from early closure timings until May 31, providing temporary relief to traders and businesses across the country.

According to official notifications, the decision has been taken to facilitate commercial activity and support business operations during the ongoing period of revised regulatory measures.

Authorities said the exemption applies to all major commercial centres, allowing extended operating hours for retail shops, restaurants, and other service providers.

The move is expected to ease concerns of traders who had raised issues over reduced business hours impacting sales and customer traffic.

Officials added that the situation will continue to be monitored, and further decisions will be made based on economic conditions and administrative requirements.
