People have been acting absurdly silly it seems. Ignoring the social distancing norm and putting their own safety at risk, thousands of people queued outside liquor stores in several cities.
People started lining up from 7:30 am in the morning, even before the shops opened. In pictures and videos doing the rounds, people can be seen in long queues. It was indeed difficult for the police to manage everyone. Due to this, liquor stores have been shut in some parts.

Bareilly Ki Barfi director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari also expressed her anger on Twitter.
"As the lockdown continues domestic violence in homes continues too. With opening of liquor shops barring people who can handle it calmly & wisely. There will be silent tears of women & children who will bear effects of aggressive behaviour patterns from men with low self esteem," she wrote.
