A street vendor smashed coconuts on the road and got into an argument with the police during an eviction drive at Gobichettipalayam here on Tuesday (June 24, 2025).
A daily vegetable market operates at Periyar Square on the Gobichettipalayam–Sathyamangalam Main Road, where over a hundred farmers arrive early in the morning to sell freshly harvested vegetables. Some vendors have also set up stalls along the roadside, which has reportedly caused traffic congestion during morning hours. The police received several complaints regarding the issue.
