NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court Friday took cognisance of the violation of COVID-19 protocols in various markets in the national capital and observed that such breaches will only hasten the third wave of Coronavirus which cannot be permitted at all.
The high court said if this behaviour of flouting COVID-19 norms continues “we will be in a great trouble”. “God help us if all that happens”.
The high court issued notices to the Centre and the Delhi government, seeking a status report on the unlocking. It also asked the Centre and Delhi government to take strict measures, sensitise shopkeepers and hold meetings with markets and vendors associations in this regard.
A vacation bench of justices Navin Chawla and Asha Menon took note of certain photographs sent to one of the high court judges on WhatsApp by an AIIMS doctor showing scant regard for COVID-19 protocols by street vendors in markets.
“We have paid a huge price in the second wave. We don’t know if there is any household which has not suffered in the second wave, closely or remotely,” the bench observed, adding that “we as a citizen of this city are worried when we see these images”.
