#BaazaarKiBaat: Zee Business' #BandKaroBazaar campaign gets support from market expert Deena Mehta - What she said

Coronavirus is showing its negative impact on the stock market in an unprecedented manner. As the stock market continues to tank even on Monday, Deena Mehta, Managing Director, Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd, while speaking to Zee Business said that she never anticipated that the markets will witness such a bad situation. "This is unprecedented, and SEBI must take some unprecedented action to handle this situation."

Moreover, seconding the Zee Business' #BandKaroBazaar campaign to shut markets temporarily, Deena Mehta suggested that this is a massive plunge, and if we continue to open markets that will result in an even bigger loss.

Noteworthy, Zee Business' is running a campaign #BandKaroBazaar and many market experts have come forward to support the campaign aggressively demanding the much-needed action of shutting the markets temporarily.
