The city will soon sport a modern vegetable market complex to be
constructed in Machabollarum falling in Alwal circle of Greater
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

The proposal for the
project, which will be taken up at a cost of `4.75 crore, has already
been approved by the GHMC Standing Committee and the same will be
submitted to the General Body for approval. The council will meet on
September 23 to discuss the issue and give their approval.

The
building will consist of a cellar, ground plus two floors and terrace
spread over three blocks. The cellar will be utilised for parking
purpose while the ground floor will accommodate as many as 144 shops.
The first and second floor may accommodate offices, banks and so on.
Presently, the condition of the market is in bad shape and is
functioning like a typical village market, making it unsuitable for the
present urban scenario.

The GHMC officials said that the market
needs improvements to properly utilise the available space and it can be
constructed with appropriate parking in the cellar. The consultant for
the project Ms Form Arch Consultants have prepared the estimates for
cellar, ground, first and second floors to the tune of `4.75 crore and
have submitted the same to the corporation.
