Guwahati: People throng markets to buy vegetables
GUWAHATI: On the third day of 21-day nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, people thronged markets in Guwahati to buy vegetables. After chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday announced that selling of vegetables and other necessary items has been exempted within the stipulated time, people started to come out to the markets in Guwahati today.
The vegetable market at Ganeshguri today witnessed a considerable number of footfalls. However, people were strictly asked to maintain ‘social distancing.’
“We are no selling vegetables to the person who is not maintaining the minimum gap,” said a vendor.
“I am a local resident of Ganeshguri. I have come out after five days. I am still unaware of the prices because of the long queue to buy vegetables,” said a customer.
However, many vendors claimed that they are charging regular prices despite the lockdown.
Buyers also thronged vegetable market at old jail at Fancy Bazar maintaining strict ‘social distancing’.
