Even after the concessions announced by the civic body, traders have refused to call off the three-day bandh. "Even if any relief has been granted, the process is long drawn and till then the sealing drive will continue causing major losses. Major shops in all popular markets across Delhi remained closed on Friday as businessmen extended "full support" to the call for a two-day bandh by the CAIT against the recent sealing drive. Final decision will be taken after a three-day public hearing," said Vijendra Gupta, member DDA and BJP MLA, who attended the meeting. Sealing started in Delhi on December 22 by municipal corporations on the direction of Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee.
