In a late evening order, the civic body also allowed maids to work in non-containment areas, but clarified that maids living in containment zones cannot go out of the zone to work.

The order also allowed senior citizens living in non- containment areas to employ nurses, caretakers, helpers and drivers.

PMC commissioner Shekhar Gaikwad said containment areas in the city have been reduced to 65 from 69.

"There were 69 containment zones earlier. Out of that, 24 are now green so they have been excluded from the list, while 20 new areas have been been added," he said. SPK BNM BNM
