      Here are all the changes, as given in the circular.

      1. Clarification on movements

      Section 9 of 'Mission Begin Again' restricted inter-state and inter-district movement of people.

      The recent circular clarifies that while inter-state and inter-district movement of people will still be restricted, there are no restrictions on the inter-district movements within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

      Mission Begin Again had outlined that shops, except malls and showrooms, would be allowed to open to open from June 5. Shops on one side of the road would be able to open on odd days, and on the other side on even days.
