Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (AM)

Mangaluru, Apr 7: Vendors at central market in the city have been asked to approach the APMC yard at Baikampady and conduct business activities there as the two old buildings of central market will be repaired.

The Mangaluru City Corporation, in a media release stated, “The corporation market situated at Kasba Bazar village known as central vegetable and fish market is in two old buildings. These buildings have been in a dilapidated condition and are declared as beyond repair. Therefore, the corporation has taken steps to demolish the same and erect a new building on modern lines by complying with all the requirements to make shopping easy and more congenial from the health and sanitation point of view.

“Furthermore, the present market building does not suit to contain the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disease which requires social distancing to be maintained wherever people congregate. This is necessary keeping in view of the overall health and wellbeing of the citizens in the city.

“Hence, considering the circumstances the corporation had decided to close down the market. No business would be allowed to continue in the building any further.

“However, vendors could approach the APMC yard at Baikampady and secure a spot if they wished to continue with their business,” stated the media release.

    This building should have been demolished at least 20 years back. But due to the corrupt people involved in doing business there, there has been pressure on the authorities not to demolish. Now is the right time for them. The building should be completely demolished and alternative market should be build on the other side of the National highway. This will reduce the congestion and pollution from the city.

    First of all b ykampady is not in Mangalore it's in new Mangalore, without building alternative location for retailers Idea of shifting central market is wrong. If congestion is the reason till now why they didn't shift DC office , service bus stand and RTO ?

    It is commercial interests which is why many are not interested to shift to APMC market at Baikampadi. In APMC market all goods vehicles entering will noted and weighed.

    These buildings must be demolished immediately and new central markets to be opened near bondel/pacchanadi area which is close to the waste disposal area. the city has to be split into different areas.

    The central market building was very unsafe from other natural disasters like fire, earthquake etc. Also shifting the wholesale market to outskirts would help in easing of traffic, and also expansion of the city. It is good that old building is being demolished. If MCC constructs a multi level parking lot instead of another market building it would be more beneficial as there is hardly any parking place in and around that area.

    Your interest and concern is for the vehicles and their owners. Not for people's safety. Build a Market with Pay and Park. How about it?
    What about peopke travel by bus and Tuk tuk. Looking for cheap foods.You want a Swimming pool
    When there is no water to drink..
    Why are you stuck to Wholesale Market. No it is Central Market. Even lawyers have
    Offices in there.
    Safety can be rectified. Earthquake in Mangalore? 60 + percent buildings have no access to Fire response vehicles in the city even if they are available.

    Social distancing is just the excuse. What has happened to the service/express bus terminus to be shifted? Last 22 years I have been hearing about the shift of the express/service bus terminus. 31st of March the market was open there was no social distancing but did covid 19 spread. If there is going to rennovate or build a new structure it would take a another decade or so.

    Most of the Mangaluru population is within Ullal to Urwa and Hampangatta to Kulshekar. baikampady is way out and will cause a lot of hardships to Manglurkars. Pumpwell is more suited.

    What Market:?
    Dirty: Filthy: Sick..
    Disgusting place.
    Its time for Profesional: competent: Architect/designer/Builder first visit Sharjah.UAE
    and check what is the Specification and meaning of a Market...?
    Learn the meaning and concept of the market.
    it is time for Change.
    This place is in Central is full of germs: Bacteria: virus.
    simply Bull dose and raze it to the ground and shift well designed/constructed beautiful Market or have many Decentralized in various corners of the city...
    but have it designed by the same UAE Architects/ designers.
    and award to good quality builders only..
    Learn from others in UAE: Singapore: japan: Korea etc.

    Keep all politicians out of these projects.only need Professionals in the respective areas of specialization.

    Rain is few times a year in Sharjah. Why not we build good fish markets with hygiene procedures in place. We need not emulate Sharjah.....nothing can stop us from having clean ,markets for fish, vegetable and meat. I have seen cows dwelling in vegetable market. With strict penalties discipline can be installed. I fully agree with Abdulla.

    This action at this point in time and situation is like shooting a sinking person unable to swim.
    Market is a place where transactions between sellers and buyers take place. This
    Stimulates economy and balances trade,finance and employment /food supplies.
    Sellers may opt to go to Baikampady. Will buyers Go too?
    Barbers and Hairdressers need people with Hair to visit them for their business.like wise the vendors at marke - buyers
    General public is Kangal and Lachar already. And expected to pedal to Baikampady
    from Mangaluru . Rubbing salt,puli munchi to deep wounds.
    From the history of Corporation projects , if existing central market is demolished., may not be seen again for decades to come. When the tax revenue falls due to unemployment project will be dead. Visit Bejai,Urwa, and Kadri markets yo enjoy
    Modern market place.
    No need from political patrons or God fathers to realize what a mess this will be
    When recovered from the ongoing curse. Public will respond . Bahut hua Sanman.
    One photo op with Potli of Ration fistribution will be forgotten.
    Where is the smart city Plan?. Ex IAS officer was correct. Chase the cars by choosing colours by day of the week and when cought up with it , totally confused.
    What next?.
    Where is the Money Boss.

    Why would general public go. APMC yard is for wholesale dealers . APMC yard is used by wholesale dealers across Karnataka and they happen to be in most cases on the outskirts of the city!!

    You missed the point. Read the Headlines, the topic of discussions.
    Central Market closed vendors asked to move to Baikampady.
    Not just and only wholesale vendors.and wholesale buyers.
    Who were the shoppers at central market? General public including retailers.
    All things Fish,Meat,poultry,vegetables,fruits,flowers,groceries etc etc
    We're traded and sold there. Head load local farmers are starting a loss.
    All need to shut down and go away including the shoppers - general public.
    No indication of new facility opening at central market.

    You don't have any idea of wholesale market. It will be inAPMC Baikampady for wholesalers. So no congestion /block of vehicles. You just see the garbage near rupavani talkies or around the prese t so called mkt. Once the trade shifts to far away places like in other city Mnglr will be more clean and neat

    Ratan Bava,
    No , I do not have any Idea of Wholesale Trade or Market of Mangaluru.
    But I think your Knowledge of Kasba Village Central Market of Mangaluro is also Zero.
    We are discussing the Headline Subject of the Media News release of MCC of shutting down Central Market.
    Not shifting ONLY the Whole Sale Market. If your issue is with just the garbage near Rupavani Cinema ,generated by Wholesale Vendors Move only THESE vendors.
    Why trouble all the vendors and shoppers?
    Swatch Barath was declared successful. Still you are sad about Garbage.
    Deal with the issue of Garbage.
    Please follow not shoot the messenger.

    Yes, Briliant , well experienced Design Engineers can do some good work to make it
    Safe and clean for Shoppers.
    Need maintenance and enforcement of Laws. But in my loving Mangaluru it will
    Remain only a dream . You all know why?

    I think Jemma you are over reacting to the Govt decesion . Even in Udupi they shifted Fish Market from present PPC road to Booddha Gudde. Initially it was a pain for everyone and now we have beautiful fish market in heart of the city . This will be the same and Central market will come with the new infrastructure needed for mangalore. Anyway , Smart is not about raising the whole city and rebuilding. India cannot afford it though. It was reorganising they city and main thing was going digital and most of the cities are already there .

    Udupi was a Fish Market. Central Market is a trade hub.
    What going digital has git to do with this shut Down? Where you found this information about Grand New Market coming up in Mangaluru?
    Pumpuwell Flyover avastey Encha ! Bus stand ?
    Provide relief and relocation to vendors who lost Rozgar. Make life easy to Citizens.
    Take the Market to Belthangady .

    I commend the timing chosen by the authorities to demolish the buildings. If in other times, there could have been a lot of political game, played to protect the shopkeepers by their Godfathers. Now, when the building is shut due to Corona, there can't be any big brother coming to their rescue. Well, the demolishing is not without giving the business people an alternative solution.

    Please go to Baikampady as you came to Hampankatta.
