Online shopping

Even though the trend of online shopping exists in our country, it still needs the immediate attention of the government. The authorities concerned should promote this mode of shopping in areas where shopkeepers don’t know how to sell online or are unable to use the available digital tools to set up an online store. The government should launch the digital marketplace where verified sellers and buyers can get registered. Also, short training courses should be arranged to make people more familiar with the mechanism of online selling and purchasing. This will help the nation fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Also, online shopping will also put an end to extreme traffic jams near shopping malls and other markets. Also, workers who lost their jobs because the shops they were working at were forced to remain closed because of constant lockdowns can be employed by online sellers to deliver their products to customers. In the current situation, promoting online shopping is the best step that will help the country strengthen its economy.
