One of the most popular street markets in Delhi, particularly busy on Sundays, continues to be deserted almost a month after markets in the capital reopened after the lockdown. Most shops are also running with far less hands on deck than usual.

“Aaj kal Sunday Monday ka pata hi nahi chalta hai. Pehle Sunday mein chalne ki jagah nahi hoti thi. Ab roz hi khaali hai,” said Raj Kumar, sitting at the threshold of his dupatta shop in Sarojini Nagar market late Sunday afternoon.
