Even before the winter is over, the water melon season has begun in Thiruvallur. The sales are very paltry.
Every year water melon is brought from other states to Thiruvallur for sales during the month of April. This year this season has begun in the first week of February. Now the water melons are brought from Chitoor and other neighbouring Andhra border areas. One ton of watermelons is purchased for Rs 7,000 and is being sold for Rs 50 to Rs 120 per watermelon.
