Uzhavar Shandy is meant for the farmers to sell their produce. There was a surprise check at the farmer’s shandy (opposite Seemati complex) by the District Collector Rajendra Ratnoo. Two shops not complying to the regulations and doing commercial business were ordered closure by the District Collector on 2/Sep/07.

The same day District Collector had ordered the Cuddalore Municipal Corp. for driving away the petty shop keepers encroaching the entrance of the shandy.

Will the District Administration take further steps in making the shandy a comfortable place for the people to purchase the fresh produce of the farmers??
