Chennai: Top officials including Greater Chennai Police Commissioner A K Viswanathan, CMDA Managing Director Karthikeyan and ADG Mahesh Agarwal today carried out an inspection at the makeshift vegetable and fruit market at Madhavaram in the city.
After Koyambedu wholesale market emerged a big cluster of Covid-19 cases, shops from there were shifted to Thirumazhisai and Madhavaram. Amid concerns raised over safety precautions not being followed at these places, the officials inspected Madhavaram market, located inside the bus terminus there, today.
The bustling market at Koyambedu during the lockdown was sealed off after the spurt of Coronavirus positive cases across the State linking the wholesale hub.
Meanwhile, most of the small vendors were facing social stigma among neighbours as they had contact with people working in Koyambedu market.
