]]>Due to Covid-19, markets in Delhi were allowed to operate until 8 p.m., according to a translation of Kejriwal’s Hindi tweet. Due to a decrease in cases, this limitation will be lifted on Monday. Markets can now open at their regular times.
After a lockdown was established on April 19 because of a spike in cases during the second Covid-19 wave, several markets were blocked in the national capital. Later, with proper adherence to Covid-appropriate behavior and official rules, one weekly market in each municipal zone was authorized to open.

]]>The relaxation, which will come into force from Monday, will apply to all shops, including those in shopping complexes and malls. Also, restaurants in the city can now stay open beyond 10 pm.
Announcing the decision, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “Till now, markets in Delhi had permission to stay open till 8 pm. As the number of Covid cases have dropped, this restriction is being lifted.”
The Chief Minister’s announcement came as Delhi reported 19 new Covid cases today and zero deaths with a positivity rate of 0.03 per cent. The number of active cases in the national capital now stands at 430.
During the second wave of Covid infections that struck in April-May this year, Delhi witnessed horrifying scenes of people scrambling for hospital beds and oxygen cylinders. The city had then recorded a single-day high of 28,395 cases and its positivity rate had crossed the 35 per cent mark.
To bring the situation under control, strict curbs had been put in place and all shops, except those dealing in essential items, were ordered to shut. This came as a double blow to shopowners already reeling under the impact of last year’s nationwide lockdown.
In June, when the city was recording about 200 cases daily, the Delhi government allowed shops and restaurants to open between 10 am and 8 pm.

]]>People familiar with the development said on Thursday the ministry of home affairs (MHA), after examining the report submitted by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal-appointed three-member panel, which it says recommended a “detailed enquiry”, has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to register a preliminary enquiry (PE) in the matter.
A PE is the precursor to a First Information Report (FIR), during which agency carries out investigations to ascertain whether a cognizable offence is made out or not.
The Delhi government termed the move as “harassment” by the Centre.
“There is absolutely no truth to these allegations. A committee was already set up to investigate the matter thoroughly, which gave a clean chit. It is a politically motivated conspiracy against AAP. The BJP wants to prevent the people of Delhi from getting new buses,” the Delhi government said in a statement.
“In the past as well, the Centre has tried to harass the Delhi government using the CBI, but not even once has their attempt been successful because there has never been any truth to any of their allegations. The Delhi government does not believe in the politics of slander, it only believes in good governance and is committed to delivering upon its promise of good governance,” it added.
Incidentally, as reported by HT in the second week of July, the L-G-appointed panel gave a clean chit to the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) in the tendering and procurement of the buses; except finding some “procedural lapses” arising out of “a bona fide decision making”.
“The tendering process of purchase of buses warrants no interference and suffers from no major infirmity… The committee, prima facie, did not come across any material to impute criminal misconduct attributable to any public official,” the report said.
There were only procedural lapses apparently arising out of a bona fide decision-making process. However, a greater effort for understanding the market and a higher degree of due diligence in assessing reasonableness of bids was required compared to what seems to have been demonstrated,” it added.
The DTC, which comes under the Delhi government, in March last year, floated a tender for procurement of 1,000 CNG low-floor buses and issued another tender for allotting the annual maintenance contract (AMC) for these buses four months later.

]]>CM reminded P.M Modi that his AAP government had supported the centre on various matters of “national interest” and asked for similar consideration in this case.
“Till date, I have supported you in all the work of national interest, you should also support us for the same. The scheme should be implemented in the whole country during the COVID times. We are ready to do whatever amendments the Central government wants to make to this scheme. I request you with folded hands on behalf of 70 lakh poor people of Delhi, Sir, please do not stop this scheme,” CM Kejriwal wrote in his letter to the Prime Minister.
In his letter to the PM, Kejriwal said the scheme should be implemented across the country in view of COVID-19 otherwise ration shops will act as “super-spreaders”.
Kejriwal had earlier alleged that the doorstep ration delivery scheme announced by his government was unnecessarily stalled by the Centre.
Addressing an online conference CM said “People are distressed that the central government is fighting everyone. If we fight like this how will we tackle Covid – 19.” He also said ” The Delhi government did not require the Centre’s approval for the implementation of the scheme , but it sought permission five times to avoid any dispute.”
The AAP chief pointed out that the scheme will finish the powerful ration mafia in Delhi whom he had fought while working in Delhi’s slums 17 years ago and faced attacks several times.
“If you stand with the ration mafia, who will stand with the poor people,” the chief minister said, adding that the scheme was intended to benefit 72 lakh people in the national capital.
This ration mafia has strong connections which are evident now as they got the doorstep delivery scheme rejected, he said and added that the Delhi government had made all preparations and was going to launch it in a few days.
He said one reason given by the Centre for rejecting the scheme was that a case has been filed by some ration shop owners in the high court. But the court did not stay the scheme and even the central government did not raise any objection there, the chief minister said.
“Even the name of the scheme was changed after the objection of the central government and yet they are saying no approval was sought. How else do you get approval?” he questioned. The chief minister claimed that it was being said by some central government officers that the Delhi government cannot take credit for the scheme by using the ration provided by the Centre.
“I am not doing this for credit. Please allow implementation of doorstep delivery of ration scheme and I will myself tell everyone that it was done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Kejriwal said.
He claimed that this ration does not belong to the BJP or the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) but to the people of the country. He stated “It is the responsibility of both of us that it reaches the people without theft.
