Chaotic scenes prevailed at markets and shops across Madurai district on Sunday as people thronged them to stock up on essential commodities ahead of the two-week complete lockdown from Monday.
All shops were opened on Saturday and Sunday, resulting in crowding of the four Masi Streets and traffic congestion near Vilakkuthoon during the day.
Nitesh Kothari, a trader near Thirumalai Nayak Palace, said many residents made last-minute purchases ahead of Ramzan. Police personnel inspected shops at frequent intervals to ensure that there was no crowding.
