Traders in Delhi would be observing ‘Delhi Vyapar Bandh’ on Tuesday against the sealing drive being carried out by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Lending support to the traders, Gopal Rai, Rural Development Minister of Delhi said, “Sealing has been going on in the city in spite of the protests of the traders.
