JOHOR BARU: Indian business associations are hoping that the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) will allow them to have Deepavali bazaars this year, despite the ongoing recovery movement control order (MCO).

The associations are willing to station People’s Volunteer Corps (Rela) personnel at the bazaars to ensure all the standard operating procedures (SOPs) are adhered to, including taking the temperatures of those coming to the bazaars and also practising physical distancing.
