* ANI update at 8.00am: People queue up outside a liquor shop near Delhi-Kapashera border amid
*A day after Gurugram witnessed the biggest spike in a single day with 11 new Covid cases, nine of which were linked to Delhi’s Azadpur mandi and the city’s Khandsa mandi, the health department is tracing traders who recently bought supplies from Asia’s biggest market for fruits and vegetables, now an emerging hotspot.
*The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is gearing up to resume inspection of properties in 1,731 unauthorised colonies by surveyors after the lockdown for conferring ownership rights to residents of these colonies under the Pradhan Mantri Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana (PM-UDAY).
*On the second day of the lockdown part 3, 40-50% standalone shops selling items like stationery, fans and paan were open in various markets of the city, including Green Park, South Extension, Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar and Karol Bagh. However, most of the shops remained open only for limited hours because of less customers and insufficient stock.
*The city on Tuesday reported its first case of a baby being born with Covid. The girl, born two days ago, and an Afghan national were among 13 people who tested positive on Tuesday.
*Busy with the Covid-19 containment drive for the past few months, the civic bodies have finally started the work to desilt drains before the monsoon.
*Having to pay 70% over the maximum retail price of alcohol has done little to dampen the spirits of Delhiites. On the second day of resumption of liquor sale on Tuesday, following the chaotic mess of Monday, there were hordes of people lined up outside wine and beer shops in the city, stoically bearing both the inflated rates and the long hours in the blazing sun to be able to go home with a bottle or two. Most, however, paid little heed to social distancing, prompting police to shut down the vends much before the mandated 6.30pm.
*While a growing number of people want their domestic workers to resume services and relieve them of cooking and cleaning chores, many others are still apprehensive about allowing outsiders into their homes. The RWAs vacillated between these two demands on Tuesday, the second day of loosening of curbs on the movement of domestic services providers like domestic help, plumbers and electricians. The latter too were in a similar quandary.
