As per the data with the corporation, around 61 weekly markets are operating from EDMC. These markets at present fetched Rs 1 crore. This is expected to increase manifold due to introduction of the new system. A shopkeeper will be allotted a 6 X 4 feet space for Rs 10 per day per site. The weekly markets shall have a clearance of zonal vending committee. The zonal vending committee comprises the officers of traffic police, local police, members of RWAs and local Councillor. ‘The identity cards will also be helpful in containing encroachment and curbing crime in the area,’ added Bidhuri.
