MADURAI: Raising concerns about the State government's plan to build an IT park in Madurai, Mattuthavani Central Market All Traders Federation urged the district collector to confirm the exact location of the park as they fear the park is to be built in the land meant for the construction of a permanent vegetable market.
The federation's president, N Chinnamayan, said the market has been operating in a temporary facility for the past one decade. "The land near Mattuthavani bus stand was allotted for the new market. No action has been taken towards the issue, despite promises from the government to build a permanent facility.
The current facility lacks all basic amenities, such as for storage, which has resulted in an increase of vegetable wastes daily," he said, requesting action towards the construction of the permanent vegetable market.
