He said all the entry gates from the western side of the market will be closed at 6pm and only the gates on the eastern side of the market will open until 7pm to allow vehicles and the people to move out.
The HCC Market Master elaborated that it is only recently they activated the ordinance after the market gates were maintained after having faced breakdown for some time.
