But one round of the city’s markets shows that the police administration has completely failed in enforcement of Covid norms. There are no checks to ensure people entering shops are wearing masks, using sanitisers or maintaining appropriate distance. During the first wave of the coronavirus, the police had deployed volunteers at different markets and had also appointed Covid monitors in shops. These volunteers and monitors ensured that the visitors followed norms. The TOI visited markets in Old City, Sarabha Nagar, Dugri, Ghumar Mandi, Mall Road and Jawahar Nagar and found norms being run over.

Traders don t mind drop in sales due to farmers stir | Ludhiana News

Ludhiana: Participation of farmers and villagers in the kisan andolan has affected the wholesale and retail traders in the Old City and other markets here, where rural customers from all over Punjab come for shopping. However, businessmen are not minding the fall in sales and are supporting the farmers’ agitation. Businessmen said neither retail nor bulk customers from rural areas are turning up in the markets as members from almost all households are going to join the farmers’ agitation. This has also led to deferment of marriages in rural Punjab. They are estimating a drop of more than 30% in the footfall of customers, but are hoping for the demands of the agitators to be met soon.
