„I was surprised to find the board of my shop changed. The whole area remained out of bounds for people and we had no buyers coming in,“ said Sariya.

„We have a number of problems: First, no buyers are allowed between 7am and 6.30pm when the shooting is on. Second, we can‘t load or unload goods, and all our signboards have been changed. We have also not been assured payment for using our premises,“ said president of Manimajra Beopar Mandal Malkit Singh. The 530-member unit refused to speak to TOI.
