Temporary markets to be shifted from bus stands

Coimbatore: With the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) making arrangements to resume operations from Monday, the city corporation has decided to shift the temporary markets that were functioning at bus stands.
In a press release, corporation commissioner J Sravan Kumar said the temporary markets set up at town and mofussil bus stands in Gandhipuram will be shifted to the prison ground on the Dr Nanjappa Road. The market at the Ukkadam bus stand will be moved to Lorrypet and the the market at the Singanallur bus stand will be moved back to the farmers’ market in Singanallur.
The corporation had moved traders from TK Market to the bus stands in Gandhipuram, Ramar Kovil Market to Ukkadam bus stand and Singanallur farmers’ market to the bus stand to enforce social distancing norms. The temporary markets will be moved to larger public spaces to ensure that people have sufficient space, said a corporation source.
