The eleventh hour ‘Pongal’ shopping in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts gave the much-needed fillip to the traders as the sale of fruits, vegetables and other products was so brisk even as the shoppers chose to ignore the COVID-19 norms.

All markets and the surroundings in Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai were heavily crowded on Thursday as the shoppers thronged these places to complete their ‘Pongal’ shopping. Only about 30% of the people were seen wearing the masks while physical distancing norm was not followed anywhere.
