The 75-year-old market’s second-floor parapet saw a concrete chunk fall last month, gravely wounding a customer. “The market is in terrible shape, making both vendors and customers vulnerable. Even though we have put up safety nets to guard against accidents, this is only a temporary solution. The market must be torn down and replaced with a new building. Hawkers must temporarily relocate in order to do this. The sole choice, according to a poll, is Park Circus Maidan, a markets department official stated. The Park Circus market has over 550 vendors.
However, the stall owners are hesitant to leave and prefer that KMC develop a portion of the market while they continue to operate. Additionally, proprietors of open-air fruit, vegetable, seafood, and meat booths stated they shouldn’t be moved since the structure is in bad condition rather than their stalls.
