The grocery shops which remained open for a few hours during morning period are witnessing sea of buyers as everyone wants to stock necessary items in his home by seeing lock down period of 21 days. Many items in shops have started to fall short against the mega demand. The shortage of eatable and other necessary stuff is making people to run from one shop to another. However, shopkeepers are telling people that they should not go for mad purchasing fearing shortage in near future as shops will remain open every day during morning period.
 
But the fear of lock down is forcing people to go for excess purchasing and this is resulting into shortage of some items at grocery shops. The grocery shop at five and six numbers are seen flooded with buyers during morning hours and same is the picture everywhere in Bhopal. The frenzy buying is also unnerving the shopkeepers as one at a time, they have to hear the demand of several people. People are mostly buying pulses, edible oil, hair oil, biscuits, wheat flour etc. In the meantime, people also fear of hoarding by shopkeepers.
