The facility will be reviewed after Pongal, says judge
The Madras High Court on Wednesday directed the Koyambedu Wholesale Market Managing Committee to continue the interim arrangement of having allotted one acre out of a three-acre vacant land inside the market complex for exclusive use of licensed tomato traders till Pongal. The court wanted to check whether the arrangement helps reduce tomato prices.
Justice R. Suresh Kumar made it clear that the Thanthai Periyar Tomato Traders’ Association cannot claim any equity on the basis of the interim arrangement, which was purely made on the basis of a court order in public interest.
