Mysore/Mysuru: La Tomatina is a festival held in Spain on the last Wednesday of August every year but looks like it is being held in Namma Mysuru five months in advance. No it is not the festival in which participants throw tomatoes at each other in a tomato fight purely for entertainment but it is the lockdown effect.
The farmers and traders at APMC yard in Bandipalya on Nanjangud Road are a harried lot as no one is coming forward to buy their produce in the wholesale market since the lockdown came into effect.
