Several shops at the farmers markets, and also at the Central Market, remained unoccupied with traders attributing it to the lack of supply. "Crops have been destroyed in southern Tamil Nadu due to the drought. Most of the supplies are from the other states and so it is important that trucks are operated so that the supply doesn't fall even more," said Ramesh, a trader.
