Delhi: Two markets in Nangloi shut over violations

NEW DELHI: Delhi government has shut down Punjabi Basti Market and Janta Market in Nangloi amid reports that general public and shopkeepers of the markets are not following Covid protocols.

Punjabi Bagh SDM Shalesh Kumar issued an order on Saturday, directing that the entire market of Punjabi Basti and Janta Market, Nangloi be shut down from Sunday to Tuesday.

In the event of any shopkeeper found violating the order or any other act that may spread Covid-19, necessary action as per law would be taken against them under Disaster Management Act, 2005. These violations may accelerate the Covid-positivity rate in many ways and the markets may become a hotspot in the future.

Recently, Laxmi Nagar market was shut following rampant violations of the Covid-19 pandemic protocols.
