More than 100 shops and business centres operate in areas like Dr Radhakrishnan Road, Tatabad, Raji Naidu Layout and Omni Bus Stand in Coimbatore Central Zone. Corporation Commissioner Kumaravel Pandian inspected the stores and said that garbage should not be dumped on the roadside, only in the bins. The Corporation Commissioner warned that fines would be levied if garbage was found to be dumped on the roads.
