Visakhapatnam
By Our Special Correspondent
VISAKHAPATNAM, MARCH 22. The 70-year-old Sardar Vallabhai Patel Market, popularly known as Poorna market, observed a complete bandh on Tuesday. The wholesale and retail traders of kirana and fruits in the adjoining Spring road and other areas also observed the bandh for which a call was given to ask the Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (VMC) to take up construction of the proposed new building for the market in a phased manner.
Memoranda submitted
Hundreds of vendors participated in a procession and submitted memoranda to the Mayor, Rajana Ramani, and the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Asha Jyothi. The president of the SVP Market Traders Association, Dadi Ramakrishna, said the vendors were not sure of doing normal business at another area during the period of construction of the new market. With the new building planned with a cellar floor and two floors above it for vegetable stalls, the vendors felt that the customers would not bother to climb one or two floors to buy vegetables. The association quoted the experience of the vendors of the Kaleswara Rao market in Vijayawada and the market in Narsapur, who were asked to pay deposit and enhanced rent for the stalls in the new buildings. This might be repeated in the case of Poorna market also, Mr. Ramakrishna feared. According to him, Ms. Ramani and the Floor Leader of the Congress in the VMC Council, P.L.N. Patnaik, assured the association that the issue of vendors would be discussed during the general council meeting to be held on Wednesday.
