Police have restricted retail business in Karwan Bazar, both for the traders and the customers.
The wholesale businesses will be allowed for limited hours. This announcement came as six traders, customers and workers were infected with the novel coronavirus over the last few days.
From now on the retailers will sit on the street in front of the Tejgaon Government Science College, said Tejgaon police station officer-in-charge Hasnat Khandakar.
The vegetable and grocery wholesalers will be allowed to conduct business between 9:00pm and 2:00am while the fish market between 4:00am and 9:00am, the OC added.
The vehicles carrying good will enter through streets along CA Bhaban and La Vinci Hotel and exit through roads along Petrobangla and TCB Bhaban.
