The Delhi Govt has issued an order that some markets in Delhi shall remain closed till 6th of July as they didn't follow Corona protocol.
"Amid the possibility of a third wave of COVID-19 pandemic and considering gross violation of existing Corona protocol in these markets, the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Punjabi Bagh under DDMA Act, 2005, do hereby order for shutting down the entire market of Punjabi Basti and Janta Market, Nangloi from July 4 to 6," the order issued by Sub Divisional Magistrate (Punjabi Bagh) Shalesh Kumar stated. In the event of any shopkeeper found violating this order or any act which may spread COVID-19, necessary action as per law would be taken against him/her."
In another order issued by Sub Divisional Magistrate (Vivek Vihar) Devendra Sharma, "shop number 9/6434, Mukherji Gali, Sardari Lal Market, in Gandhi Nagar has been asked to close its operations for seven days till July 12 for non-adherence of Corona protocol under Covid-19 appropriate behaviour".
The Delhi govt had earlier allowed the Main Bazar, Laxmi Nagar from Vikas Marg to Lovely Public School, Kishan Kunj and its surrounding markets to reopen following a written assurance from traders that Corona protocol will be followed.
There is strong warning from the health authorities and the govt that a 3rd Delta variant wave is imminent in September-October. Some cases have already been found in Maharashtra. In the light of this warning and the second wave disaster, it is imperative for the DDMA (Delhi Disaster Management Authority) to keep a close eye on the behaviour in markets where traders insist their stores should be opened as they are losing money and the govt has to give in under pressure from the traders. However, the reopening of markets is one of the main reasons for the Corona to spread as it leads to breaking of Corona protocol.
