Logistics problems for low cost veg outlets

The low cost vegetable shops that were opened this week by the State government have been facing major issues with logistics. Residents who have visited the shops have more complaints than compliments.
‘Usually vegetable shops open by 6 a.m. but these outlets only started functioning at 9 a.m. Their timings are supposed to be 8 a.m. to noon and again from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., which in itself is unusual’, said a resident of Indira Nagar. ‘The vegetables don’t seem to be of the best quality. For instance, the potatoes, beans and carrots that the staff say are from Ooty don’t seem to be of the standard that one expects from vegetables there. There are more bruised and rotten vegetables than fresh ones on the trays. They are also not sorted properly. Since the vegetables are frozen, they have excess moisture on them, which means they will rot quickly’, said a visitor to the Teynampet outlet.
