Malls in Patna lift shutters

PATNA: Though few malls in the city lifted their shutters on Tuesday, some others will take a day or two to clean and sanitise the premises before welcoming visitors.
Asharam Singh, the security head of a mall on Patliputra-Kurji road, said it was opened on Tuesday only for the staff to carry out sanitation procedures. “We want to give a premium experience to visitors.We are also installing sanitiser dispensing machines and thermal scanners at entry points to prevent the Covid-19 spread. All showrooms inside the malls will open on Wednesday for the public.
The news of reopening of malls spread like wildfire among shopping enthusiasts in the city. Kadamkuan resident Rohan Jayswal felt surreal after entering a mall near Dak Bungalow crossing on Tuesday. “I had forgotten the ambience in malls and shopping complexes. I am very happy that life is getting back to normal,” he said.
