Delhi Commercial Markets To Remain Open: CAIT

Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said commercial markets in the national capital will remain open, and any decision to open any particular market on alternate days – if the situation warrants – would be taken by the individual markets. “At the meeting of trade leaders, it has been decided that the since each market has different dynamics in terms of wholesale or retail and customer flow is different for each market, the social distancing norms vary from market to market and based on their own perception and number of covid positive cases, Individual markets may take their decision in the best interest of the traders and customers of Delhi,” CAIT said. It had also conducted a survey of Delhi Traders to seek their responses on closure of markets. However, Secretary General of Federation of All India Vyapar Mandal V K Bansal said it is against CAIT’s interference in markets. “Traders should be spared from dirt of politics. We strongly support opening of market with all safety protocol, and condemn the action of CAIT by so called survey which is more an in-house opinion rather an opinion by traders of market,” Bansal said.
