Chandigarh, May 12, 2020: Chandigarh Administration has shifted the vegetable market in Sector 26 to Sector 17 bus stand because of large number of coronavirus cases in neighbouring Bapu Dham colony.
Bapu Dham colony has become a coronavirus hotspot in the city with over 100 cases and the administration, fearing that the disease might spread to the vegetable market where large number of vegetable sellers and buyers gather every day, decided to shift the market to the Sector 17 bus stand.
The Sector 17 bus stand, which was once bustling with buses and people, is now virtually empty as state transport buses of neighbouring states as well as Chandigarh Transport Undertaking are now operating from the Sector 43 bus stand.
