Since coronavirus cases were on the rise in the city, the Ahmedabad civic body had decided not to give such relaxations at that time.
The AMC had even gone a step further and ordered the closure of shops selling vegetables and groceries till mid-May.
Of the total 9,268 COVID-19 cases reported in Gujarat so far, as many as 6,523 cases were from Ahmedabad city alone.
