Bhubaneswar: With the roads for goods vehicles to Unit I Daily Market in Bhubaneswar encroached by temporary shops and puja pandal, the traders have threatened to stop selling vegetables from October 20.
Speaking to media here on Monday, Kabiraj Swain, president of the Vegetable Traders’ Association of the market, said there are two approach roads which are used by trucks, tempos, mini-trucks and other vehicles carrying vegetables to the market.
As one of the roads was completely blocked by the temporary shops selling winter garments, festival items and a puja pandal, the goods vehicles have been unable to reach the market for unloading the vegetables since Ganesh puja.
“When we took up the matter with the Unit-I Traders’ Association to resolve the matter, we were told to use another road located in a residential area. But the residents opposed the movement of the vegetable-laden vehicles in their locality,” said Swain.
Normally, around 1,000 vehicles from outside places including Kolkata, Ranchi and others come to the market to deliver the vegetables on daily basis. “With both roads blocked for the movement of vehicles, our stock has depleted and we cannot keep the vegetables in the open. In view of the issue, we have decided to stop selling vegetables from October 20,” he added.
