Lorry owners want goods vehicles to be allowed at night
An association of Koyambedu merchants and sand lorry owners want trucks transporting goods to be allowed to operate during the total lockdown on Sunday. Members of the Federation of All Associations of Koyambedu Periyar Vegetable Market said that on average, the market received about 5,000 tonnes of vegetables from various States and other parts of Tamil Nadu, such as Theni, Hosur, Mettupalayam and Perambalur. Although the wholesale and semi-wholesale markets would be closed on Sunday, any hassle in the operation of vegetable-laden vehicles would affect the supply chain on Monday.More Related News
