CHENNAI: The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has banned the entry of the general public to purchase flower, fruits and vegetables at the Koyambedu Wholesale Market Complex.
Official sources with Market Management Committee, which maintains the market, said the ban on entry for the public comes into effect immediately.
Retail trade of fruit and flower would be shifted from the congested market to the spacious mofussil bus terminus at Madhavaram. A CMDA statement said the retail trade would be shifted to Madhavaram on Thursday.
However, there was no clarity on retail vegetable shops that attracts the maximum crowd to the market.
“The number of the general public coming to Koyambedu in the last couple of days has reduced due to the ongoing complete lockdown (in force to combat Covid-19),” an MMC official said.
