Several Delhi Markets to Remain Shut Tomorrow Over J&K Terror Attack
The recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, has sent shockwaves across the country, and the trading community in Delhi is no exception. In a bid to register their protest against the brutal incident, several markets in Delhi will remain shut tomorrow, with traders calling for a complete shutdown of all markets.
The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) announced yesterday that the trade associations of Delhi have called for a “complete shutdown” of markets in the national capital. According to CAIT, the decision was taken to express solidarity with the victims of the terror attack and to condemn the brutal act of terrorism.
“The brutal terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam has caused deep sorrow and pain among the trading community. We strongly condemn such acts of terrorism and stand in solidarity with the victims and their families,” said a CAIT spokesperson.
The decision to shut down markets has been welcomed by traders across Delhi, who are determined to show their support for the victims of the terror attack. “We cannot remain silent in the face of such brutal violence. We must stand together and show our solidarity with the victims,” said a trader from the Chandni Chowk market.
The Pahalgam terror attack, which occurred on Thursday, has left several people dead and many more injured. The attack, which was carried out by a group of terrorists, has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life condemning the brutal act of terrorism.
The Delhi government has also expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and has assured them of all possible support. “We are deeply saddened by the terror attack in Pahalgam and our thoughts are with the families of the victims. We will do everything possible to support them and bring the perpetrators to justice,” said a senior government official.
The decision to shut down markets in Delhi is not the first such instance in recent times. In the past, the trading community in Delhi has come together to protest against various issues, including the demonetization of high-denomination currency notes and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
However, this time, the reason for the shutdown is more serious, as it is a protest against a brutal act of terrorism. The traders believe that the government must take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of people in Jammu and Kashmir and to bring the perpetrators of the terror attack to justice.
The shutdown of markets in Delhi is likely to affect thousands of people who depend on these markets for their livelihood. However, traders are willing to make this sacrifice in the face of such a brutal attack. “We are willing to bear the losses, but we must stand together and show our solidarity with the victims of the terror attack,” said a trader from the Karol Bagh market.
The shutdown of markets in Delhi is also likely to affect the economy of the city, as it is one of the largest commercial centers in the country. However, the traders believe that this is a small price to pay for the sake of justice and human dignity.
In conclusion, the shutdown of markets in Delhi is a clear indication of the trading community’s determination to stand together against terrorism. The decision to shut down markets is a powerful statement against the brutal act of terrorism in Pahalgam and a testament to the solidarity of the trading community in Delhi.
