Karol Bagh shop owner fined Rs 50K for opening shop on wrong day

Friday, 31 December 2021 | IANS | New Delhi

A shopkeeper in central Delhi’s Karol Bagh was on Thursday slapped a Rs 50,000 fine for violating Covid norms by opening a shop on ‘Even Day’, which led to a large gathering at the spot. The challan was issued two days after the Delhi government imposed a yellow alert, in view of the rising Covid cases, under which restrictions included shops selling non-essential items being only allowed to open on an “odd-even” basis.

Karol Bagh’s Sub-Divisional Magistrate issued the challan to Prem Singh, who runs the shop in Beedanpura area of the leading market. The SDM, accompanied by Civil Defence volunteers, were on a surprise inspection when they caught Prem Singh running the shop on day he was not supposed to. “Shop was found open on an Even Day. It was the reason behind issuing the challan. The challan was issued for Rs 50,000,” said an official.
