Other shops in the area, including Chandni Chawk and Chandrima Super Market, are set to reopen this week, according to traders. Although the market authorities were given the green light to reopen in early May for Eid-ul-Fitr, traders decided to keep the shutters down fearing a further spread of the coronavirus infection. Apart from this, New Market authorities have also taken a few of their own initiatives. SAFETY MEASURESShoppers will be allowed to enter and exit through gates one and two, according to the shop owners’ association of New Market. In addition, hand-washing facilities will be set up at the complex in line with health directives with the market authorities hiring about 40 people to implement the safety measures.
