Initial Challenges Discovered• Labor and Coolie Problem for goods transportation within market campus

• Traffic Conjunction and parking problem

• Improper O&M measures taken

• Improper facilities to facilitate trade supporting activities in older market

• Not proper provision of fire and safety measures

• No reception nor any direction aid facility in most markets

Failure and Mishap due to improper facility management

• This hampers a great deal to the business growth and now time, Municipal Corporation, traders all are demanding for some up gradation
