New Delhi: Eastern District Administration has turned off the main Bazaar of Laxmi Nagar until July 5 due to rising congestion and people who do not hold on to the appropriate behavior of Covid.
The command issued by East District Judge Sonika Singh and the Chairperson of Delhi Disaster Management Authority on Tuesday stated that “stretching from Vikas Marg to beautiful public schools, Kishan Kunj and the surrounding market, such as Mangal Bazaar, Vijay Chowk, Taman Subatram, Teacher Ramdas Nagar , etc.
will be limited to open from 10 nights on June 29 to 10 nights on July 5 or until further orders “.
This restriction does not apply in stores that deal with important goods and services.
“According to Preethar Vihar HR reports, shopkeepers, vendors and the general public at Laxmi Nagar Bazaar Utama did not follow the appropriate behavior of Covid.
Because of the big footsteps, market associations and store owners cannot confirm the Covid protocol, last week,” added orders.
DCP (East) has been asked to ensure strict compliance with the orders and East Delhi Municipal Corporation needs to complete sanitization.
The market welfare association has been directed to expand support.
However, traders claim that their consensus is also not given information about the problem of increasing congestion.
Sumit Kumar Sharma, President Association of Bazaar Mangal, said that Rush was witnessed on several days because people from the nearest area continued to often check whether the Bazaar Patri had restarted.
“The Civic body has not given permission to Patri Bazaar, but their regular buyers continue to come.
If not, the situation is still quite normal here.
We got information after we contacted the local police,” Sharma added.
The shop owner claims that the authorities do not help them in any way.
Anil Rastogi from the G & H Market Traders Association said, “We do all efforts to maintain social distance in stores and markets even though they do not get assistance from the authorities.
The crowd remains normal, except on Sunday night.
If congestion is noticed, Then the authorities should speak to us first rather than close the market.
