Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that the Delhi Government passed orders to allow street vendors and hawkers to restart their work and businesses.
As per the orders, Street hawkers will be allowed to operate from 10 am to 8 pm every day and will have to ensure social distancing and all other precautionary measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19
The Corona pandemic and its successive lockdown had affected both small scale and individual businesses, with street vendors being one of the most affected groups.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, Kejriwal said, "Due to some confusion, the street hawkers were not allowed to work. The Delhi government is now taking out special orders, under which the street vendors and hawkers will be allowed to operate their businesses."
Kejriwal said, "It is due to the hard work, prudence, and caution of the two crore people of Delhi that the situation in Delhi has improved significantly in the last few weeks. The Delhi model is widely discussed and appreciated across the country and the world, that how the people of Delhi came together to fight Covid-19."
