VIJAYAWADA: The VMC has decided to decentralise Swaraj Maidan Rythu Bazar, which was earlier shifted to IGMC Stadium to avoid gathering of a large number of people to buy vegetables and other essential commodities.

The rythu bazar, which has a total of 215 stalls, has been divided into 10 mini-rythu bazars. The VMC officials have requested the people to go to the mini-bazar, which is nearest to their house. Apart from these stalls, mobile rythu bazars are deployed in red zones.
