‘It is causing huge financial loss for farmers and manufacturers’
The ‘mandai vellam’ (jaggery) makers and traders of Madurai have been deeply impacted by the imposition of intense complete lockdown. While the district administration has recently permitted the functioning of jaggery mandis on three days a week, the traders urge the district administration to permit functioning of mandis without any time restrictions. The jaggery, which is made by grinding sugarcane, is a major business in nearly eight villages of Alanganallur region - Kottaimedu, Kallanai, Valasai, Melachinnampatti, Kalvelipatti, Kondaiyampatti and Thanichiyam.
