Rain leaves Chennai's Koyambedu market filthy, prices drop sharply
Heavy rains left Chennai's Koyambedu fruit and vegetable market submerged in water, drastically reducing footfall. Vegetable prices dropped sharply due to low demand, with tomatoes falling from ₹120 to ₹50 per kg. Large quantities of produce were discarded amid poor market conditions, contributing to a significant drop in sales, especially for fruits.
