Chairs, tables on roads
In a release, R. Chandirasekaran, Commissioner of Puducherry Municipality said road side eateries spread out chairs and tables on pavements and roads eating away parking space. Though most of the eateries functioned from their own premises they continued to occupy the arterial roads.
