Trader body asks Delhi govt to allow opening of shops, markets from Monday

Delhi, which has been under lockdown since April 20 to contain the spread of Covid-19, will begin gradually lift restrictions starting Monday (May 31), chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced earlier

Traders’ body the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has expressed anguish at the Delhi government’s decision to exclude shops and markets from the city’s ‘unlock’ process starting Monday. 
 

Delhi, which has been under lockdown since April 20 to contain the spread of Covid-19, will begin to gradually lift restrictions starting Monday (May 31), chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Friday. 
 

In the first phase of unlocking, construction and manufacturing activities will resume in the city, as CM Kejriwal said that a lot of poor families are reliant on daily wage labour at construction sites for their livelihoods.
