As the nation moves into lockdown 3.0, Varanasi's&nbsp;District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma has issued a statement keeping in mind the needs of the public and their safety.

He has assured people that the essential shops will be open, however there will be certain restrictions on operating days. A roster-based system will be followed to make sure all essential shops are operating, but with safety precautions. The roster will soon be released in which the city will be&nbsp;divided into some zones and only selected shops will open on a particular day. Every zone will also have a police station to overlook the arrangements, and to make sure that everyone follows the health precautions.
