Mangaluru, Mar 25: Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has announced 21 days lockdown in the entire country commending from Tuesday midnight. But this measure has not resulted in reduction in the number of people flocking the central market here.

The central market here witnessed large number of people on Tuesday. On Wednesday too there have been ample number of visitors to the market and business is roaring. Even though the crowd is large, only a few are seen wearing face masks.

On Tuesday, most had visited the market and conducted business without any masks. On Wednesday too, people appear to be under the impression that they can fight coronavirus infection without any protection.

Truckloads of vegetables have arrived at the central market, and from here, they are being dispatched to different markets in the district.

But roads in many places are empty and deserted with no commuters. Only a few places of essential items were crowded.
