Roadside markets cause accidents in hilly regions

Roadside markets encroaching on pathways in the hilly regions are creating accident traps. Illegal markets are proliferating, occupying road space and causing frequent accidents, particularly in Puliyurshala and Thudali. Authorities are reportedly ignoring these issues. These markets, selling fish and vegetables, also lead to unsanitary conditions, attracting stray dogs and birds, and raising health concerns among residents.
