In spite of simmering differences, a section of wholesale traders shifted operations from Gandhi Market to West Boulevard Road in the city on Sunday night.
After locking all gates of Gandhi Market to deny access to traders and customers, officials of Tiruchi Corporation made arrangements on West Boulevard Road from Kamaraj Arch to Vellamandi Corner for traders to set up temporary shops.
While one side of the road has been earmarked for wholesale traders, the opposite side has been allotted for retailers. Under the arrangement, the wholesale traders will transact business in the night and the retail traders from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.. In order to ensure social distancing, circles have been drawn on the road.
