Gandhi market jam continues despite truck ban

Trichy | Monday | 23rd July, 2018

Summary:

Trichy: Almost a month after the district administration banned vegetables and fruit laden heavy vehicles from entering Gandhi market, traffic congestion is still a concern in the area. "Trucks carrying groceries and construction materials are still entering the market roads as they face no restriction. But, the wholesale traders used mini-trucks to shift the goods to Gandhi market from a makeshift market along the National Highways. Street vendors were marked by boundaries, and were told not to host shops beyond the line," a senior police officer with traffic wing said. Though the ban on heavy vehicles brought some relief to the commuters, restrictions are not solving the real issue as congestion is happening now and then..
