Curbs being removed from Mon as cases dip: Kejriwal
Delhi markets can open and close as per their normal time from Monday onwards, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Saturday.
Kejriwal tweeted, “Until now the markets in Delhi were allowed to open till 8 pm due to a coronavirus outbreak. Due to the decreasing number of cases, the limit is being removed from Monday. Now the markets will be able to open as per their normal time.”
Earlier, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) had allowed markets to remain open only till 8pm in view of Covid-19 cases. While cases and positivity rate are now under control, the Government released the order with the new relaxations to be effective from next week.
The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) were demanding that the closing time of malls and markets in Delhi should be extended from the present 8 pm to 10 pm.
