Regional general secretary of the association, Ravindra Nath Rastogi, however, said that the shops will remain open for the next 12 days, till April 24, the deadline set for the union government to look into the matter.

"We will decide the future course of our action in case our demand of a roll back on the excise duty is not yielded to," Rastogi told IANS.

Message of opening the shops on Wednesday were sent to all groups in Lucknow, and to markets across the state, said office bearers of various associations.
