Coimbatore: The city corporation on Sunday sealed two flower shops at RS Puram for violating the social distancing norms.
Based on the directions of corporation commissioner J Sravan Kuamr, corporation officials sealed the shops and removed wood and steel extensions encroaching the road, said a corporation official. “As the number of positive Covid-19 cases is increasing in the district, the civic body is keen to prevent the market areas from becoming hotspots and has been constantly monitoring the areas and closing the shops for violation of norms,” he said.
The civic body had sealed the main flower market using tin sheets a couple of days ago. It is speeding up construction of the new flower market on the opposite side of the old market. The new market is expected to be spacious.
