The order issued by sub-divisional magistrate (Vasant Vihar) Ankur Prakash Meshram said that during an inspection, the market was found "extremely crowded with Covid-19 norms being grossly violated and no social distancing being followed."

Sarojini Nagar Market had been witnessing a heavy footfall of customers for the past few days.

Meanwhile, the market associations of Sarojini Nagar have also called a meeting on Sunday.

This is not the first incident when a market was closed by the Delhi administration for flouting Covid-19 norms. Recently, several markets including Karol Bagh and Lajpat Nagar were closed for overcrowding.
