At ABDA, at its address at its address, it has been moved that the market from Palayam to Kalluthankadav to its address influenced the livelihood of approximately 5,000 families.
PK Krishhnadas, chairman of the committee, in his presidential address, claimed that corporations were not even ready for proper discussion with traders. He said that only 140 suppliers who work outside their own building in Palayam were the plan to move corporation. However, many other shops form the market, including those in private buildings and on street wheelchairs. The Coordinating Committee claimed that they were ready to go to Kalluthancadav only if the company considered all parties involved.
The transfer of the market has been a sore since the company first designed ten years ago. The multi -storey market building on the banks of Conolly Canal in Kalluthancadav can accommodate more than 300 stores. However, the fact that it is a private enterprise and the required high rent was the main concern for the sellers. They also argued that the deviation from the Palayam bus stand would have an adverse impact on their business.
Mr. ABDU said that the committee is waiting for the company’s response to Tuesday’s protest and that their future procedure will depend on it.
