Buyers Enjoy Shopping Mall Visits After 77 Days

However, entry into the shopping malls will be allowed only to 50 per cent of its customers against the total capacity. The authorities have started a token system for entry into the shopping malls.

In Punjab's largest shopping mall, The North Country Mall, even the employees will have to show their tokens to enter the premises.

In Punjab, people visiting the shopping malls will have to download the state government's Covid-19 app. Everyone entering the malls, including the family members, will have to maintain a physical distance of at least two meters.
