Restaurants shutting down

Many restaurants in the heart of have firmly downed their shutters since Monday night. Though the state has allowed takeaways when the lockdown order comes into force on Tuesday evening.

Baskar Seshadri shared this photo of the popular Vasantha Bhavan on South Mada Street in Mylapore, with its frontage covered with tarpaulin sheets.

On the same road, Ratna Cafe had curtailed its operations some days ago.

People are keen to know which food joints will provide takeaways once the lockdown is effected, to pick up food if it is needed in extreme situations.
