BHARATPUR: The Metropolitan Vegetable Depot in Chitwan has resumed its operation.

The vegetable depot was closed two months ago due to the threat of COVID-19 outbreak.

The vegetable shops will open from 6:00 am to 4:00 every day.

The depot has 60 wholesale shops of vegetables and fruits including groceries.

Farmers and locals had earlier exerted pressure on the concerned authorities and people’s representatives to resume the depot saying that the local products were damaged.
