Chandigarh, August 26
Members of various market associations have demanded withdrawal of the odd-even system for opening of shops after the implementation of weekend lockdown in the city.
In a letter to UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore, Shashtri Market, Sector 22, president Jashminder Singh Nagpal, Palika Bazaar, Sector 19, president Naresh Kumar Jain, Sadar Bazaar, Sector 19, president Narinder Singh, Krishna Market, Sector 41, president Sunil Jain and Patel Market, Sector 15, president Sanjeev Kumar, under the banner of the Chandigarh Udyog Vyapar Group, stated that after the implementation of weekend lockdown in the city, nearly half of the shopkeepers were only able to open their shops for two days a week due to enforcement of the odd-even system in their markets.
It would be injustice to the poor shopkeepers as they had to pay various bills and wages to their workers and meet other expenses, they said, adding that they had already suffered huge losses due to nationwide lockdown in the wake of Covid.
The shopkeepers requested the Administrator to withdraw the odd-even system when two-day weekend lockdown was in force in the city.
