CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal has also urged Mr. Puri that recently the Delhi Municipal Corporation officials have sent several notices to the traders of different parts of Delhi, and now when the Municipal Corporation of Delhi has been integrated by law and the Master Plan 2041 is being prepared which will specify how the future development will take place in Delhi, in such a situation all the notices given by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi must be taken back with immediate effects and Delhi market must remain in touch .
In Delhi, more than 10,000 shops have been sealed for a long time, due to which the livelihood of the traders and their employees is in big trouble. The seals of all these shops should be opened immediately on humanitarian grounds so that they can start their business once again by any means.
Khandelwal said central government should intervene in this matter and to save the traders of Delhi from sealing, an amnesty scheme should be announced in which the construction made till a due date should be regulated by charging a compound fee and for future
The rules should be made more stringent. The provision of compound scheme is already there in the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act.
