In Delhi, we have the world largest fruit and vegetable market Azadpur Market from where vegetables and fruits get supply to almost whole India. In Azad mandi(market) a lot of people visit to buy fruits and vegetables in bulk so that they can supply that in different parts and in that question arises how to maintain social distancing and how to avoid such gatherings. To maintain this market now special meagers have been taken by the government and President body of Azadpur Mandi to make sure of social distancing.

In terms to maintain social distancing President of Azad mandi has taken a decision to make sure on 1000 people enter mandi at one time. This market will be functioned in between 6 am to 11 am and fruits from 2 pm to 6 pm where one can buy and sale vegetables and fruits in mandi. Then after trucks will be allowed to enter the mandi in between 10 pm and 6 am. According to government orders, Azadpur Mandi will remain functional only clockwise to maintain social distancing.
