Ahead of extending restrictions on the mobility of goods and persons, the government plans to set up a chain of 2 million retail shops called ‘Suraksha Stores’ across India, which will provide daily essentials to citizens while maintaining stringent safety norms.
The Suraksha Stores initiative will convert the neighbourhood kiranas into sanitized retail outlets selling daily essentials while adhering to safety norms such as social distancing and sanitisation to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, sources with direct knowledge of the development said.
