Additional district magistrate Nitin Madan issued the schedule for 2023, according to the 1962 UP Shops & Commercial Establishments Act. The shopping malls and large commercial establishments remain exempt from this order, according to Schedule 2 of the Act. Madan said the labour department suggests the schedule annually. “This is an annual exercise to ensure the smooth functioning of markets. The department will conduct inspections and impose fines in case of violations,” he said.
S K Jain, president of the Sector 18 market association, said that earlier, too, the market would remain closed on Tuesday, so there is no change. “The administration allows shopping malls and other big establishments to operate seven days a week but makes small retailers shut shop for a day. The rule should be uniform for all,” he added.
