Delhi traders to give roses to officials on Valentine’s Day
Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds Delhi announced a week-long celebratory offer for guests and visitors on Valentine's Day.
New Delhi: On Valentine's Day (February 14), traders in the capital would present roses to officials demanding an ordinance by the Centre to end the sealing drive.
This would be followed by a mega rally against the sealing drive at the Ramlila Maidan on February 15. According to the traders' body, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), thousands of traders from across the city would participate in the rally.
CAIT general secretary, Praveen Khandelwal, said, "We will press our demand for an ordinance by the Centre to end the drive. Traders would also give roses to the civic agency officials under the 'My Valentine-My Shop' campaign on February 14."
The civic bodies are conducting a sealing drive against commercial units, under the supervision of a Supreme Court appointed monitoring committee, since December last year.
Scores of commercial units have been sealed and fines have been imposed on the traders over the violation of Delhi Master Plan 2021 and non-payment of conversion charges. Mr Khandelwal alleged that the sealing drive was going on in violation of the laws.
"The so-called guilty officials are being punished without following the due process of law," he said. In this regard, he said the CAIT will approach the Supreme Court against the sealing drive by the monitoring panel.
"A meeting with the Union home minister Rajnath Singh is also planned," he added.
