Even as COVID-19 cases in Delhi continue to rise at an alarming rate, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday denied any plans to impose a lockdown or a 'mini-lockdown' in the national capital. This comes after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday sought power from the Centre to impose lockdown in those market areas which may emerge as COVID-19 hotspots. Kejriwal also appealed to Delhiites with folded hands to wear masks and follow social distancing norms. Please follow social distancing. People didn't wear masks during Diwali, didn't follow social distancing while shopping," he said.
