How many of us are aware of the fact that the market at Saidapet is 100 years old?
Today, health minister Mr. M. Subramanian, Deputy Mayor Mahesh Kumar and GCC Commissioner Mr. Gagandeep Singh Bedi made their presence felt at this market. It must be taken into account that these persons reviewed the various works that would be carried out in this important market.
The buildings that are present in the Saidapet market are in dilapidated condition and this was as per the health minister. He shed light on the fact that both shopkeepers as well the customers face issues during the rains.
Preparation of cost estimates:
To renovate the market, cost estimates would be prepared first and then tenders would be called for. Information collected is that to facilitate the continuous functioning of this market during renovation a suitable ground would be identified and the shops would be shifted to the ground temporarily. Based on the size of the present shops, the traders would be given temporary shops
The health minister later spoke about how shops were constructed in 1996 for the use of the street vendors behind the present market and the shops remain vacant now. It is now said that GCC would use the land to upgrade the maternity hospital functioning near the Saidapet market.
