Delhi's Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) today ordered to closed down 46 shops and street vendors in the capital's Sarojini Nagar Market for violating COVID-19 protocols.
Earlier in July, the DDMA shut the Lajpat Nagar, Laxmi Nagar market, Kamla Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and parts of Sadar Bazar and Karol Bagh for violation of COVID-19 norms.
