“I want this message to go to all district administration — do not disturb the vehicle transporting vegetables to sell anywhere in the state and outside the state. I do not want this to continue. We have already given pass from the department”, he said. The minister bluntly said that the Police department personnel would disturb the vehicles and will speak to the DGP about the matter.
