Lockdown: Use this website to let others know which stores are open near your house

NEW DELHI: In order to help citizens know which nearby shops are open during the lockdown period, marketplace platform Quikr has launched a new website called “stillopen.in”. This website will help you identify the nearest grocery stores, hospitals, pharmacies, COVID-19 centres, and other stores classified as essentials. To access the website visit www(dot)stillopen(dot)in.However, this website doesn't autimatically update the status. It is totally dependent on people who eill have to first visit a particular store, confirm the stocks and then mark the respective status on website.

Users themselves will have to update store status and hygiene, add info on groceries along with reviews and images directly from their smartphones. So, with this website, you can alert others in your locality as to whether a particular shop is open or not.
It is currently available for access in 23 cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Gwalior, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Patna, Indore, Jaipur, Kochi, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, and Secunderabad.

“This being a crucial time for India, the only way to break the chain of infections is to stay at home and step out only when there’s an absolute need for essentials. During such times, it is important for people to know which shops are open/closed to save time & do quick shopping. Quikr is ensuring this through stillopen.in by helping people find stores open nearby,” said the company in a release.
Meanwhile, Google has just rolled out an India-specific website on coronavirus that delivers comprehensive information about the pandemic, and how to stay productive during this time.
