The Sanquelim Municipal Council (SMC) has taken significant steps to improve the weekly market in the municipality.
As part of efforts to make the market more organised and customer-friendly, the council has made several changes to the market layout and operations.
Separate areas have been designated for different types of vendors, including vegetables, fruits, dry fish, spices and clothing. A large area has been reserved for parking, making it easier for customers to visit the market.
Vendors are required to keep their areas clean and dispose of waste properly.
The council has laid down rules and regulations for vendors, including maintaining cleanliness, not indulging in loud behaviour and respecting the designated areas.
The council conducted a survey of the market and gathered feedback from vendors and customers.
Councillors engaged with vendors and explained the new rules and regulations.
The changes are expected to improve the overall customer experience and make the market more attractive to visitors.
The organised layout and parking facilities are likely to increase footfalls in the market. The designated areas and rules and regulations will help to manage vendors more effectively.
“We are committed to making the Sanquelim market a better place for both vendors and customers. We urge vendors to cooperate with us and follow the rules and regulations,” said SMC Chairperson Siddhi Prabhu.
Describing the changes as a welcome step, SMC Vice Chairperson Dayanand Boryeakar said he hoped they would improve the overall experience of customers and vendors alike.
