Chief Minister Biswa Sarma tweeted that now shops in Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Silchar will be open for 24 hours. Shops will be opened without compromising the rights and facilities of the workers, but this decision will not be applicable to liquor shops and bars.
After the cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Biswa addressed the press conference. In this, he informed that his Council of Ministers has approved a policy under which other shops and business establishments in the capital Guwahati and Dibrugarh and Silchar cities will be open for 24 hours except liquor shops.
The number of shifts was also increased.
Chief Minister Sarma said that shops in other cities will remain open till two in the morning, while the time limit for opening shops in rural areas will be till 11 pm.
