As the government permitted opening up of liquor shops in designated green zones in the country from May 04, with a condition that only five people will be allowed at a given time in a liquor store the netizens are wondering what would happen if they turned up at the liquor shops and were the 6th person.

“Shops selling liquor, paan, gutka, tobacco, etc will ensure minimum six feet distance from each other, and also ensure that not more than 5 persons are present at one time in the shop,” the MHA said in its updated guidelines on Friday evening as it moved to extend the lockdown by another two weeks.

Netizens queued up on-line to celebrate but with a question mark, wondering what would happen if they turned up at the liquor shops and were the 6th person. Meanwhile, the red zone people expressed sadness.

Here are some of the responses take a look:

They say only 5 people can be allowed at a liquor shop at once in green and orange zones.
I wonder how will they implement this! How does one know he is the sixth person going to the shop!
