Protesting the MCD's decision to resume court-ordered sealing drive against illegal shops in the capital from November, traders in Delhi on Sunday took out a 'sealing sangam yatra' and demanded that the government bring in a constitutional amendment to regularise all business establishments that existed as on December 31, 2005.
