To ensure that Covid-19 contagion does not obstruct the business of shopkeepers during the festive season, the members of Doon Valley Mahanagar Udyog Vyapar Mandal (DVMUVM) commenced their awareness campaign on Thursday.
According to the president of the association, Pankaj Masson, the members distributed posters and pamphlets to shopkeepers and told them that it is important to follow Covid-19 guidelines for the safety of theirs as well as the customers. “We have asked shopkeepers to follow ‘Na mask Na Saman’ policy in the market. The shopkeepers have already suffered a lot during this pandemic but if they will not earn sufficient during festival season, some of them will probably die of hunger, especially the small shopkeepers and vendors,” stated Masson. He said that DVMUVM will also continue its awareness programme in future too for the safety of customers and local shopkeepers.
Besides, Masson also mentioned that SDM, Ram Binwal was also present for their awareness campaign during the distribution of posters in the market.
Meanwhile, the representatives of Doon Udyog Vyapar Mandal (DUVM) also met Binwal to discuss minimising the risk of Covid contagion during the festive season. “The shopkeepers are waiting for the festive season and if the situation will get worse during that time, it will severely impact them. Therefore, as discussed with SDM, all the precautions will be taken to minimise the risk of contagion in marketplaces” said a member of DUVM.
