New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) The decision of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to open only construction activities and factories from May 31 in the process of unlocking has disappointed the domestic traders, CAIT said on Friday.
Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said that when the positivity rate is about 1.5 per cent, the markets in Delhi should also have been allowed to open, maybe in a phased manner. "More than 15 lakh small and big traders of Delhi are providing employment to more than 35 lakh employees who are largely migrant people and as such for their livelihood, the shops are also eligible to open," it said.
It added that the timings of the shops can be reduced further but opening of shops and markets is the need of the hour as traders are facing acute financial crisis.
