Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 16 -
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has approved the shifting of Gur Mandi from the old grain market to the new grain market in Karnal.
Apart from jaggery, permission has also been given to shift fodder, pulses and spices market to this new grain market. Giving information, a government spokesperson said while this decision of the Chief Minister will provide relief to city residents from the congestion in the old grain market, traders of other items, including jaggery, will also benefit. The main agricultural products like wheat, maize, jaggery etc. were bought and sold in the old grain market of Karnal. In 1999, a new market was developed in Karnal where the grain related products were shifted. After this, in 2014, the fruit and vegetable market was also shifted to this new grain market.
The spokesperson said in the layout plan of the new grain market, a provision was made for fodder market, jaggery market, spices market and pulses market, but a notification in this regard could not be issued due to which the market of the above items could not be shifted to the new place.
