Bandra, Santacruz to curb market timings

MUMBAI: In a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19 in parts of Bandra, Khar and Santacruz, the BMC's H-West Ward office has passed orders to allow fruit and vegetable markets to stay open only till 12pm daily.
Residents like Madhu Poplai, irked over what they perceive as short hours, say this will lead to crowding.
Ward officer Vinayak Vispute justified it saying markets are a probable infection source. Corporator Asif Zakeria said the decision was taken suddenly.
