The district administration previously decided to reopen markets and shopping malls considering Eid-ul-Fitr, maintaining proper health guidelines during the Covid-19 shutdown.
But monitoring various markets for the last 4 days, the officials noticed that almost 90 percent of the shoppers and shopkeepers have failed to maintain social distancing and health guidelines to curb the spread of Covid-19.
So, the administration has decided to shut down markets and shopping malls of the district again considering public health.
