Justices Vineet Kothari and Pushpa Sathyanarayana accepted a request made by the State government Pleader V. Jayaprakash Narayanan to grant him four days’ time to list out the measures taken to clean the temporary markets and to maintain physical distancing between customers.

The order was passed on a petition filed by the Gerugampakkam Traders’ Welfare Association.
