MADURAI: The
Madurai Corporation ordered closure of 10
wholesale vegetable shops functioning at MGR bus terminal as they allowed their customers to gather in large numbers without following social distancing norms.
Corporation commissioner
S Visakan and Madurai district collector T G Vinay conducted a joint inspection at three places – MGR Bus Terminal, Truck Terminal and Amma Thidal -- on Sunday night. These temporary markets were established due to space constraints at the central vegetable market in Mattuthavani.
Visakan ordered to close all the 10 shops found violating social distancing norms. He also ordered not to open the shops for three months.
