Vizianagaram Chamber of Commerce president urges government for new market construction to boost economic activities in the region.
Vizianagaram Chamber of Commerce president Kapuganti Prakash on Saturday urged the government to allocate close to 10 acre of land for the construction of new market as the existing Prince Wallice (PW) Market is congested with narrow roads constructed many decades ago.
He said that the old PW Market constructed during the British regime had hampered business activities due to lack of space, thereby, restricting the movement of vehicles carrying essential goods to the shops. According to him, lack of a storage facility is another challenge for the traders.
He said that the chamber had earlier given a representation for the development of a new market either in Visakhapatnam-Vizianagaram or Vizianagaram-Gajapathinagaram route to make Vizianagaram a major economic hub.
“After the construction of an exclusive Balaji textile market in Vizianagaram Cantonment, the traffic congestion had come down in Vulliveedhi, G.T. Road and other places. Such an exclusive market is required for the transport and sale of essential goods also,” said Mr. Prakash.
