Several Delhi Markets to Remain Shut Tomorrow Over J&K Terror Attack
India has witnessed a series of unfortunate terror attacks in recent times, and the latest incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, has left the entire nation in shock. In response to this brutal act of terrorism, traders’ associations in Delhi have called for a “complete shutdown” of markets on Friday. As a result, several markets in the national capital will remain closed tomorrow, disrupting the usual hustle and bustle of commercial activity.
The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) announced the decision, stating that the trade associations of Delhi have come together to protest against the terror attack. According to CAIT, the terrorist attack on Pahalgam has caused “deep sorrow” among the trading community, and the traders’ associations have decided to observe a day of mourning by shutting down their businesses.
The decision to shut down markets was taken at a meeting of trade associations, which was attended by representatives from various markets across Delhi. The traders’ associations have called upon all market associations and shopkeepers to shut their establishments tomorrow as a mark of protest against the terror attack.
The markets that will remain shut include the famous Chandni Chowk, Sarojini Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, and Hauz Khas, among others. The shutdown is expected to affect thousands of small and medium-sized businesses in the city, which are an important part of Delhi’s economy.
The decision to shut down markets is also seen as a show of solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who are still reeling from the effects of the terror attack. The traders’ associations have appealed to the people of Delhi to join them in their protest and observe a day of mourning.
The terror attack in Pahalgam, which occurred on Tuesday, has left several people dead and many more injured. The attack was carried out by terrorists who stormed a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, killing several of them. The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life condemning the attack and expressing solidarity with the victims and their families.
The traders’ associations have also appealed to the government to take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. They have demanded that the government take stringent measures to prevent such incidents in the future and ensure that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice.
In the meantime, the people of Delhi are expected to observe a day of mourning tomorrow, with many businesses and institutions shutting down as a mark of protest. The shutdown is expected to have a significant impact on the city’s economy, but it is also seen as a necessary step to show solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
As the nation mourns the loss of lives in the Pahalgam terror attack, the traders’ associations in Delhi have taken a bold step to express their outrage and condemnation of the attack. The shutdown of markets is a powerful symbol of the trading community’s commitment to standing in solidarity with the victims and their families.
