Also, the Delhi government has permitted weekly markets to resume its operation on a trial basis till September 30 under 'Unlock-4'. Delhi government led by Aam Aadmi Party and the Lieutenant Government officials have recently been sparring over the decision to reopen gyms and weekly markets in the national capital.
