Traders stage protest demanding opening of weekly market in Peravurani
Traders staged a protest in Peravurani, Thanjavur, demanding the immediate opening of the renovated weekly market.
The weekly market in Peravurani, Thanjavur district, had not opened on Sunday despite completion of renovation work. Frustrated by the delay, traders staged a road blockade and dumped vegetables on the street.
The traders forced their way into the market and began setting up shops. Peravurani town panchayat executive officer Kamalakkannan has filed a police complaint against them.
Town panchayat president Shanthi Sekar stated that the shops were intended to be allocated via a lottery system and condemned the unauthorized entry of some traders.
