All markets should not be targeted due to crowding in some of them, says Delhi trader associations

Following crowding in Delhi markets after the government relaxed Covid-19 restrictions in the city, Delhi traders association said that all markets in the city should not be targeted due to crowding in some of them.

All markets in the city should not be targeted due to crowding in some of them, Delhi trader associations said on Sunday and pledged to work with the administration to ensure compliance of Covid-19 safety norms. The associations suggested a slew of measures like online payment, opening more gates of Delhi Metro stations, different timings for wholesale and retail markets, among others, to prevent crowding. The Delhi High Court had on Friday taken cognisance of the violation of Covid-19 protocols in various markets in the national capital and observed that such breaches would only hasten the third wave of coronavirus which could not be permitted at all.
