80 fever camps established across the district on Tuesday
Consumers thronged flower markets here on Tuesday. The markets were flooded with flowers like jasmine and rose in view of Tamil New Year day tomorrow. Jasmine, which was sold at ₹ 200 a kg last week, witnessed 100 % rise in price. Almost every flower variety available in markets were selling at double the price and there were still buyers, vendors said. However, the officials were worried about the rush at the markets. The public movement could be controlled only through lockdown, a police officer in the city’s busiest VVD junction said and added that motorists readily paid the penalty for not wearing masks showing that they did not care for spread of the virus.More Related News
