A crowd situation emerged in Sadar Bazar, Delhi, due to the influx of shoppers ahead of Diwali. A video on social media depicted people struggling for space in the crowded market. Street vendors also added to the congestion by narrowing the pathways.
The exact date of the video is unknown. Police have stationed teams in the area to maintain order and prevent any incidents.
A senior police officer stated, "Sadar Bazar, during festival seasons, faces high footfall. We are planning to manage the crowd and soon meetings will be done with the district magistrate, market association, and officials of the MCD for the crowd planning."
Efforts are underway to limit the entry of heavy vehicles to ease congestion, according to another officer. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has yet to comment on the situation.
Rakesh Yadav, president of the Sadar Bazar Association, mentioned plans to write to the Delhi Police for crowd management. "We are planning to write and meet senior police officers of the north district as huge crowd can lead to any bigger circumstances if not properly maintained," he said.
