As the maintenance got under way, cardamom e-auctions were temporarily shifted to the auction centre at Bodinayakanur to prevent disruption of the trade and help farmers. Though the maintenance works are yet to be completed, one e-auction will be held every week at the Spices Park till the work is over, said A.
