It is well known that from the Koyambedu wholesale market the vegetables get sold in the neighbouring districts like Chengalpet, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur etc. Vegetables come from various parts of Tamil Nadu and from Andhra Pradesh at this Koyambedu market.
It is now said that this important Koyambedu market would not function on 5th November due to the festival of deepavali. It must be noted that there are more than 1900 shops in the market.
Farmers and lorry drivers would be spending the deepavali day with their families and others. For this reason a holiday has been announced for the market on 5th November and vegetables would not be coming here on that day.
