Cases of Omicron variant have been steadily rising in India but even at a time when maximum caution must be exercised while moving around in a public place, a recent video went viral which showed a jostling crowd close to a stampede like situation in Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar market. The video showed a huge number of shoppers crowding together near hawkers and is said to be from the market on Sunday. The video shows men and women almost falling on each other due to the surging crowd at one place and people unable to move around due to it. Social media users expressed their deep concern at the video and were left shocked at the blatant disregard for social distancing rules.

Twitter users also reacted to this and admonished those who seem to be having no care in the world for a deadly virus that has been constantly mutating to something bad. Check out some of the reactions:

you’re not supposed to go to sarojini during peak hours during a panorama yaar go 2 hrs before closing time on a weekday stock is not as good but at least there’s lesser idiots without masks on around https://t.co/68DsyJwuJI— miku⊹ ִֶָ໑ .* (@mikromoons) December 23, 2021

@ArvindKejriwal sir this sort of crowding in Delhi will invite another wave in Delhi. https://t.co/VnFGxRSuGQ— Maya S 🇮🇳 (@balamy) December 23, 2021
One Twitter user likened this to the unfortunate Travis Scott concert last month in Houston that ended up killing 10 people in a stampede like situation.
Nobody told me there was a Travis Scott concert in Delhi??? https://t.co/wbr7i8CbXo— nakulsoftyjoshii (@glitteryfartss) December 23, 2021
