8th story from New Delhi. (Bhanwar Jangid). Within two months of the lockdown, Delhi's heartbeats have been hit by ventilators. This is because, in the market of Gandhinagar, which supplies ready-made garments all over the country, where there was no place to set foot, there are no legs in these two months in 15 thousand shops.

 

Even though shops have been opening for the last 15-20 days following the guidelines of Odd-Even and Unlock, but there is more influx of landlords than customers who are coming to collect rent. This is the rent of the landlord, on the other hand, the sales in the shop have been zero for two months, the rent has gone up and electricity bills are also being paid.

 

Artists from UP-Bihar have left Delhi due to Corona

 

There are household industries producing jeans in every household of Kabir Nagar, but these days people have opened sewing machines. All artisans in UP-Bihar have left Delhi for fear of Corona. When will you return? There are two answers to the question. First- the fabricator is thinking, no artisan will do NREGA work in UP-Bihar, he will return soon. Second- the fear of a virus sitting in the heart of the artisan is not letting him leave the village. Connaught Place is called the heart of Delhi, the entire market there is stunning. Despite Unlock-1, about 80 percent of the shops are closed.

 

Restaurants and cafes closed in Khan Market

 

Restaurants and cafes in Khan Market, known as Asia's most expensive and VVIP market, have closed down. This market is not expected to buzz for the next four-five months. This is the same Delhi where the equations of the politics of the country are deteriorating, where there is a fight to save the business on couriers and WhatsApp, with the shopkeepers and owner houses and the equations of businessmen and artisans in lockdown.

 

The chains are not hanging in Gandhinagar because the chains are not able to form

 

Gandhinagar is the wholesale market of RadiMate Garment. Approximately 15000 shops of apparel and related items are on different streets. Ashok Galli - be it Premgali or the narrow road to Subhash Road and Ramnagar, we got comfortable without colliding with anyone. Before coming to lockdown, he would rub shoulders with at least four people to walk two steps.

 

As soon as Ashok entered the street, Dinesh Khandelwal and his two employees were sitting idols like effigies kept in the shop. Dinesh owns a 96 sq ft shop, whose rent is 1 lakh rupees a month. He did not even trade 1% in fifteen days. Somehow paid the rent of March-April, they are unable to muster the courage to give May-June. Premani's Mani Sardar was also sitting empty, but was not worried. Because his shop is 35 years old and he owns it. It is said that they do not pay the rent, but even the local labor is not getting it. Labor's auto rentals are being overshadowed by social distancing.

 

Ashok Bazar head KK Balli says that the business cannot run on WhatsApp orders. Every businessman comes to see the new trend and design, he will not come for the next two months. The labor of the fabricator has gone, so the production stopped. Now the shops of buttons, threads, and chains are also not opening. Tenants and owners are taking days off to resolve the dispute of the house.

 

Everyone likes jeans stitching machines

The music of sewing machines used to be heard in Kabir Nagar, spread over a radius of two km near the Maujpur metro station, all those machines are still silent. Factories have opened up a side slab. These are the thousands of machines that used to stitch jeans for everyone's liking. Almost the entire business was in the hands of the Labor of UP-Bihar which has now gone. Mohammad Shadab of Hyper Jeans says that he used to make 1000 jeans daily from 50 machines. The rent for the shop of Tank Road is 1.50 lakh, 40 thousand for the warehouse, and 1.25 lakh for the fabricating yard. Electricity bill was also not forgiven.

 

The courts are not entangled in the arithmetic, so the agreements are on the table

A shopkeeper of Khan Market reached Delhi High Court and said that he cannot pay the rent, sorry. The court did not grant any relief. Even how to give, it is very difficult to get into the mathematics of rent. In Delhi, where the lives of 4 lakh families are going on rent, expenses of DDA, MCD, and Metro are also going on rent. The rent of the banquet hall and showroom built under the Akshardham Metro alone comes to over 1 crore. Hence, the court turned down the tenant's request and asked him to accept the terms of the lease agreement.

 

The heart of Delhi is Connaught Place under the shadow of silence

There are around 2500 showrooms in all the blocks here, 80% of them were not open. It is difficult to tell when about 200 restaurants will fully open. United Coffee House, whose history begins in 1942, is taking takeout and home delivery these days. The open showrooms, are illuminated by the lights from inside, but the corridors outside them are lying. Parking is empty, as only showroom operators have carts.

 

VVIP Khan Market: Social Distancing In All Shops

It is the most VVIP mine market in Delhi and is also considered the most expensive market in Asia. It was built for the displaced people from Pakistan. Now every brand of country and abroad comes first. People from Indira Gandhi to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Dr. Manmohan Singh to Amit Shah come here. It started with 156 shops, whose rent is 7 to 10 lakh rupees a month.

 

The most expensive shop for rent is Rs 22.50 lakhs. Sixty percent are ancestral and forty percent rent. All the shops have been opened and following the social distancing in all, the initiative of the people is quite visible. Outside every shop, shells are made and stickers are installed. Entering the shop after checking the temperature with a thermal gun.

 

Virtual Fair seeks to save 25500 crore handicraft exports

Noida's Indian Expo Center & Mart hosts four major fairs from April to July every year, but this time there was a lockdown due to Corona. I talked to Export Promotion for Handicraft (EPCH) and said that the Vasant Kunj fair is going on in the Delhi office. The virtual fair of jewelry was going to live in the conference room. Export of handicrafts is around 25500 crores, to save it, have started virtual fairs of all three.

 

Bullet at a discount of ten thousand

After Unlock-1, automobile showrooms have started opening. There was no sound of machines coming from any factory in the industrial lanes of Patparganj. Car showrooms and service centers were open. Some people were coming to the showroom, but the service center was crowded with vehicles. We found a Bullet showroom where there were a lot of people. It is known that for the first time in the history of Enfield the discount is being given. 10 thousand was in lockdown, now 6 thousand from 1 to 15 June, then will be reduced to 3 thousand by 30 June. Vipul said that he has sold 50 bullets in the last 15 days. Average sales per month range between 180 and 200.
