"It is necessary to depute a municipal supervisor and a police constable in the market from 5.30 pm to 9 pm when the vegetable and fruit vendors break rules and park themselves in the open, causing great inconvenience to the public," Mishal said.

Calling for streamlining the vendors in the market, Mishal said they should not be allowed to store their goods overnight and lamanis selling jewellery should not be allowed inside.
"Identity cards must be issued to vendors and all eligible plastic selling vendors must be warned to stick to the space allotted to them," he said.
In another significant proposal, the market chairman called for installation of CCTV cameras at prime spots like the fish, vegetable and fruit markets and at various entrances of the market.
He suggested banning all bread sellers from standing at the entrance of the market which adds to the chaos.
He also suggested that all perishable goods and masala vendors should not be allowed to sell openly in the market as all such items sold by these vendors were unhygienic and most of them did not have the desired Food and Drugs Administration licence.
Councillor Chandrashekar Benkar suggested that all those spitting and urinating openly in the market should be fined. He also called for shifting of vendors occupying space at the entrance of the market.
Councillor Sushant Harmalkar said parking in the municipal market and surrounding areas should be streamlined.
Former chairperson Sandip Falari said some of the points raised by the market committee were valid and needed to be looked into.
