The roads that have been deserted in Chennai in the total lockdown are now buzzing with activities!!
Shops, markets and offices have resumed their works once again in the city of Chennai. This was witnessed on the first day of the partial lockdown in Chennai. The traffic on Monday was heavy in major roads like Anna Salai, GST Roads and in other arterial roads etc. In north Chennai, Kasimedu fishing harbour and in the vegetable markets, Covid-19 norms were not followed by the public. Social distancing went for a toss. The lack of police personnel was evident at Kasimedu.
It was revealed by an officer belonging to CMDA that at Koyambedu atleast 10,000 people commuted by 3600 vehicles that were meant for transporting veggies and fruits for retail shops from the wholesale market. At many strategic locations in Chennai, the policemen conducted vehicle checks. In the 24 hours that ended at 6am on Monday, the Chennai police personnel have booked cases against 4098 people. As many as 2154 vehicles have been seized also for violating the Covid-19 lockdown rules. The relaxation in the lockdown was welcomed by the traders, shopkeepers etc.
A shop owner in south Chennai spoke about how his business has been affected for a year and half now.
