Srinagar, May 25 (KNS): Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Mohammad Aijaz on Tuesday said decision regarding opening of marketplaces and business establishments in phased manner will be taken in consultation with all stakeholders.

He said this while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a vaccination drive at Press Enclave Srinagar, DC Srinagar. 

Deputy Commissioner said the decision regarding opening of markets from next week will be taken by the state executive committee (SEC)after analyzing the growing situation. 

"Even though number of cases are declining on a daily basis, but we still need to be very alert as this is the time to overcome this deadly virus," he said according to KNS reporter. 

Deputy Commissioner said statistics reveal more than 6000 active cases, so there is no chance of any sort of relaxation in the curfew. 

"We have to follow the SOPs strictly including social distancing, wearing face masks and particularly vaccination. We have started the vaccination drive and all those eligible groups should go for vaccination," he said.

"Like the first wave we will also come out of the second Covid-19 wave successfully provided everyone contributes to win the fight against Covid-19," he added.

Regarding the vaccination drive, he said priority will be given to the most vulnerable groups including journalists, shopkeepers, vendors, milk and vegetable vendors and orphans registered with social welfare department, constriction workers and maximum mobility groups, who fall in the age group of 18-45 years—(KNS)
