The government will not allow hawkers on pavements before Eid-ul-Fitr due to risk of coronavirus infection.

However, shops and shopping malls will be reopened from May 10.

The home ministry notified the police and other law-enforcing agencies about the decision on the hawkers on Tuesday ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, reports bdnews24.com.

“Do not allow hawkers, vendors, or makeshift shops on the pavements,” the ministry said.

It also issued a reminder that the malls must install handwashing facilities and provide hand sanitiser at the entrance.

Both buyers and shopkeepers will need to wear masks and the shops and malls must close by 4pm.
