Corpn. constructs 22 additional shops on the market premises
The Erode Corporation has constructed 22 additional shops for small traders at the VOC Park Ground where the Nethaji Daily Vegetable and Fruit Market is functioning temporarily.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March, over 700 vegetable and fruit shops that were functioning on the market premises on R.K.V. Road were shifted to the Corporation Central Bus Stand premises. After resumption of bus services, a temporary market was established at the four-acre ground owned by the civic body and shops started functioning there from June. Initially 450 shops were established and later 220 shops were added.
