In this regard, instructions were given that the market should be cleaned early in the morning so that the cleaning can be done in the right time/manner.
During this meeting, it was demanded that there are many RMC points along the markets, so their cleaning should be done immediately, so that the customers and shopkeepers coming to the markets can get relief from the foul smell. Apart from this, the traders also demanded that legal action should be taken against illegal rickshaw drivers, so that the parking of the markets can be freed for the traders and their customers.
The traders also said that the public toilets and bathrooms are not maintained properly, the work of their maintenance should also be given to the traders, so that they can get the cleaning done at their own level.
