With Lockdown 3.0 in place, the Government of India (GoI) allowed states to give permission to begin alcohol sales in the country, thereby opening liquor shops in several zones. The restrictions on alcohol sales were lifted in parts of the country that had not been adversely affected by the coronavirus. Following which, the Maharashtra government allowed the shops to be open in green zones. Shops in red and orange zones were also given permission for alcohol sales if they were not in the containment zones or hotspots in Mumbai and Pune.
After the decision came in effect from May 4, 2020, people were seen outside liquor shops to buy alcohol after nearly two months. As the people formed queues outside liquor shops, Twitterati had their share of fun at the stake of these people. Here are the best memes:
