The Race Course Road Walkers Association has urged the authorities to ensure hygiene, proper waste management, and safety at the proposed model food street near Anna Stadium in Khajamalai, Tiruchi.
Food Safety Department officials held a meeting with the association members on Friday to seek their views on the facility. The walkers called for measures to prevent waste and used cooking oil from being dumped along the walking track, avoid traffic congestion, and keep the walking area free of vehicles between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. They sought to ensure that stalls did not open before 6 a.m. and that smoke from cooking did not inconvenience walkers.
