Around seven lakh business establishments and over 3,000 commercial markets, including Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place and Lajpat Nagar, will remain closed on March 28 as traders will hold a mega rally to demand protection from the sealing drive.
Besides traders and their employees, families of businessmen will also participate in the rally to be held at Ramlila ground.
Praveen Khandelwal, general secretary of the Confederation of All India Traders, said the Delhi Government should pass a bill in the current Assembly session to bring in a moratorium on sealing and seek Centre’s approval for the same.
“Trade and commerce in Delhi will remain completely closed on March 28, with both wholesale and retail markets participating. “The transport and logistics sector has also extend its support, and all transport companies shall remain closed,” Khandelwal said.
