To maintain social distancing, the authorities are planning to shift some vegetable vendors in Cuttack to other locations.
Four major vegetable markets would be relocated during a joint drive by the district administration, police and Cuttack Municipal Corporation on Monday.
The vendors of Nayasarak Road in Balu Bazar vegetable market would be shifted to Ring Road in front of the Sishu Bhawan. But the vendors sitting inside Balu Bazar would be allowed to continue vending as before by maintaining a minimum distance of 12 feet.
The vendors of Ring Road near the Krishak Bazar would be relocated to the four-lane road connecting Ashwini Hospital at Sector 10.
Vendors on Nayabazar Road would be shifted to the field near TOP. Those on Link Road and between Dolamundai and Khan Nagar would be shifted to two open fields near Khan Nagar Park. No vegetable retail shops would be allowed at Chhatra Bazaar.
