And the committee that will decide the critical details of implementation and transition has yet to even convene. In fact, its first meeting is tomorrow.

...court's hygiene requirements. "And where will they find land to build shops for hundreds of thousands of us?" he asks. Commercial property prices in Delhi are similar to those in major financial centers such as London and Tokyo, and the authorities have already burnt their fingers trying to implement another unpopular Supreme Court order shutting down commercial establishments in residential areas...
