A 12-point charter has been sent to the Union Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Puri, urging him to take necessary steps to mitigate the problems of the traders caused due to the sealing, said Pravin Khandelwal, general secretary of Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).
"The 48 hours Delhi Bandh was spontaneous and successful and amply reflected the amount of anguish and resentment of the traders. The markets will open tomorrow," Khandelwal said.
He claimed the strike was a "great success".
Protest marches and demonstrations were also held in various markets across Delhi, he said.

"Arbitrary sealing (was) conducted by the monitoring committee in the most dictatorial manner keeping aside the law book of MCD Act, 1957," alleged Khandelwal.
The charter of demands sent to Puri, included allowing basement for commercial use, waiving of penalty and interest, discontinuing parking facility in fixing floor area ration, fixing limit of conversion charge for ten years, among others.
The sealing drive was started by the north and south municipal corporations, on instruction of a Supreme Court appointed monitoring committee, to seal commercial units flouting the Delhi Master Plan 2021 norms.
