Business remained lean as malls and shopping centres in the national capital re-opened on Monday after more than two months.

Though most of the shops, offices and restaurants reopened at Saket's Select City Walk, one of the prominent malls in the city, only a handful of shoppers visited it in the initial hours.

Most shops pasted stickers on the floor to help visitors maintain physical distancing and the employees wore masks, face shields and gloves.

Religious places like temples, Gurudwaras and mosques saw relatively higher footfalls.

In Hyderabad, people offered “namaz” while practising social distancing at a mosque.

In New Delhi, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara saw over a dozen people visiting the premises and offering prayer.

Some religious places including Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur remain closed in the wake of a rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Maharashtra.

However, even though these places were empty, Mumbai and Delhi have seen massive traffic jams over the past few days.
