News Link: Pune Malls Report Good Footfall
Malls reported heavy losses due to the prolonged lockdown. Only sections dealing with essential commodities were allowed to function, and thus, retail sales had come to a standstill. Some malls had even expressed worries that individual stores would be forced to give up their premises in want of rent.
Three months since they re-opened, malls in Pune have reported good footfall. Now, with multiplexes being allowed to reopen as well, malls are optimistic that business will return to normal by the end of December.
Under Mission Begin Again, malls were allowed to reopen for business on August 5, with ample measures for crowd control. Marshals have been deployed, and AI-enabled cameras have been installed to detect crowds, alongside frequent sanitisation. Multiplexes and entertainment centres were kept closed.
