New Delhi, June 18
The Delhi High Court on Friday took cognisance of the violation of Covid protocols in various markets in the national capital and observed that such breaches would only hasten the third wave, which could not be permitted at all.
The high court asked the Centre and Delhi government to take strict measures, sensitise shopkeepers and hold meetings with vendor associations.

A vacation bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Asha Menon took note of certain photographs sent to one of the judges of the high court by an AIIMS doctor showing scant regard for Covid protocols by street vendors in the 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. PTI
