Several Delhi Markets to Remain Shut Tomorrow Over J&K Terror Attack
A wave of protest is sweeping across Delhi as traders have called for a bandh to protest against the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has announced that the trade associations of Delhi have called for a “complete shutdown” of markets on Friday, bringing normal business activities to a standstill.
The decision to call for a bandh was taken after a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which has left the nation in shock and anger. The brutal attack, which claimed the lives of several innocent civilians, has caused deep sorrow and outrage among the trading community. The traders’ associations of Delhi have decided to come together to express their solidarity with the victims and their families, as well as to condemn the heinous act of terrorism.
According to a report by CNBCTV18, the CAIT has appealed to all traders, shopkeepers, and businessmen to join the bandh and stay away from their businesses on Friday. The organization has also urged the authorities to take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of citizens, and to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice.
The bandh call has been widely welcomed by the trading community in Delhi, with many traders expressing their support for the cause. “We are deeply disturbed by the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and we cannot remain indifferent to it,” said a trader from Karol Bagh, one of the busiest commercial hubs in Delhi. “We have always been a part of the country’s economy and we cannot let terrorists disrupt our normal activities. We are with the victims and their families, and we will do everything possible to support them.”
The bandh is expected to have a significant impact on the economy of Delhi, with many businesses, including shops, markets, and restaurants, expected to remain shut. The move is also expected to affect the daily lives of thousands of people who depend on these businesses for their livelihood.
However, the authorities have assured that adequate arrangements will be made to ensure that essential services remain unaffected. “We understand the importance of maintaining normalcy in the city, and we will make sure that essential services, including healthcare and emergency services, are not disrupted,” said a senior police official.
The bandh call has also been supported by several political parties, including the BJP and the Shiv Sena. “We condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and we support the traders’ decision to call for a bandh,” said a BJP spokesperson. “We urge the people of Delhi to join the bandh and show their solidarity with the victims and their families.”
The terror attack in Pahalgam has sent shockwaves across the country, with many people expressing their outrage and anger on social media. The attack has also raised concerns about the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, with many calling for the government to take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of citizens in the region.
In the meantime, the trading community in Delhi has come together to express its solidarity with the victims and their families. The CAIT has announced that it will organize a series of events, including a candlelight march and a prayer meeting, to pay tribute to the victims of the attack.
As the nation comes together to condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the traders’ associations of Delhi have shown that they will not be intimidated by such acts of violence. By calling for a bandh, they have sent a strong message that they will not be silenced by terrorism, and that they will continue to fight for their right to live and work in a safe and secure environment.
