The Greater Chennai Corporation has decided to redevelop the fruit and vegetable market in Saidapet by demolishing the existing buildings and constructing new ones with toilets, parking and other such amenities.
Health and Family Welfare Minister and Saidapet MLA Ma. Subramanian, Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi and other elected representatives and senior officials inspected the market on Wednesday to discuss different options for the redevelopment. They interacted with the traders in the market.
While the fish and meat market functions on the land belonging to Karaneeswarar Temple in Saidapet, the fruit and vegetable market is functioning on the land belonging to the Corporation.
