Breach of Covid protocol will only hasten the third wave, the Delhi High Court warned today, taking note of the violations in markets in the national capital following the massive easing of restrictions this week.
Shops, malls and restaurants in Delhi reopened on Monday as COVID-19 numbers in the city saw a steady drop in the past few weeks. Weekly markets reopened but are allowed only 50 per cent vendors and only one market per day will function in each municipal zone.
Delhi was under a lockdown since April 19.
The high court issued notices to the Centre and the Delhi government , seeking a status report. It also asked authorities to take strict measures against violators and sensitive shopkeepers.
