The move is aimed at helping people to get the essential things easily during the curfew that is in force. AIR correspondent reports, during the lockdown periods, concerns used to be raised about the easy availability</span><span style="font-style: italic;">&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #222222;">of essential commodities. To address the issue, the Chennai Corporation has persuaded the retail traders in the city to run seven thousand mobile provision stores. The civic body has said five thousand three-wheelers and 2000 mini-trucks will be to sell them by wearing gloves and masks. On its part, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority has made arrangements for running a hundred mobile vegetable and fruit selling units. The residential welfare associations have been asked to register themselves with the planning authority's website or through phone for directing the vehicles to reach them. These are expected to reduce uncertainties among the public about crisscrossing the city streets every day with the provisions. The traders have been asked the availability of the things and also contain the people's movement on the roads.</span><br />
