Coronavirus: Azadpur Mandi to Follow Odd-Even Rules From Monday
Delhi's Azadpur mandi has decided to introduce odd-even rules from Monday to maintain the social distancing norm during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The mandi has also decided to stagger the timings from 6 AM to 11 AM for sale of vegetables and 2 PM to 6 PM for sale of fruits.
The chairman of the APMC of Azadpur said there are 22 big sheds under which hundreds of traders sell vegetables and a huge number of people visit the market on a daily basis.
Khan said, "Under the odd-even rules, we will allow all the 22 sheds to operate according to their numbers. For instance, on even date, even-numbered sheds such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 will be allowed to function."
"This will help us maintain social distancing in the market in view of the COVID-19 outbreak" he further said.
