Authorities in Delhi have closed the export market in Sarojini Nagar until further orders for "grossly" violating Covid-19 norms. The market associations of Sarojini Nagar have called a meeting on Sunday, reported news agency ANI. Several Delhi markets, including Karol Bagh and Lajpat Nagar, have been closed over the past few days for overcrowding and flouting Covid-19 norms. Last Sunday, Sadar bazaar was partially shut for three days due to overcrowding and violation of physical distancing norms. The Delhi government previously ordered a shut down of Lajpat Nagar market and Rui Mandi in Sadar Bazar for violation of Covid-19 norms.
