Wholesale markets of Jumerati and Hanumanganj will remain completely closed from April 2 to April 5 to avoid unnecessary gatherings in the wake of cornavirus. A meeting between the wholesale traders, retailers (Thok Evum Futkar Vyapari) and administration officials was held on Wednesday and it was decided that the markets will be kept closed for the ensuing four days. General Secretary of Vyapari Mandal Mahasangh Anupam Agrawal said, “Today, we convened a meeting and decision has been taken unanimously to keep whole sale market of Jumerati and Hanumangaj closed for four days.
It has been taken to check the spread of corona virus in the state capital.” However, the traders had convinced the administration to keep the markets open from 10 am to 5 pm, a few days back. Later, the timing was changed from 12 noon to 4 pm.
Unloading timing for trucks was 8 pm to 2.30 am (midnight). It is notable that social distancing protocol was being neglected at the market by the traders and customers as well, as the market was seen congested. Administration has divided state capitals in various zones and deployed the police teams to check the public movement on roads and vehicular traffic as well. Even in wholesale market, police team was deployed for compliance of social distancing norms.
