Police will issue vehicle pass to those selling vegetables
All thoroughfares in Thoothukudi and its peripheries were abuzz since 6 a.m. on Sunday. Unmindful of physical distancing, people thonged the shops. On the one hand, in a bid to cash in on the opportunity, a majority of the shopkeepers had jacked up the prices of vegetables. For instance, brinjal was sold at ₹100 a kg, tomatoes at ₹90 to ₹120, shallots at ₹80 and Bellary onions at ₹60 to ₹80. Beans was sold at ₹300 a kg and Cauliflower at ₹100 a piece.
