Mangalore, Oct 22: The Bejai Market Horata Samithi staged a protest in front of the church against delay in construction of a hi-tech market, here, on Saturday October 20.

The protest was led by KPCC secretary Ivan D’Souza.

Addressing the gathering, he said that the municipality started the construction work in the year 2004. Even after eight years the work is still pending, due to which the trading activities are being carried out next to the church premises, he alleged.

He blamed the negligence of state government and municipality in the delay of work.

“Eight years back, the estimated cost of the hi-tech market was Rs 6 cr. Due to the delay in work, the price has now increased to Rs 20 cr. This is clear indication that the government is wasting people’s money”, he said.

Ivan said that the MCC has failed in appointing a contractor for the market construction. Even after calling tenders for the fourth time, there were no contractors willing to take up the work.

He said that the samithi will continue to protest until the construction work is resumed.

Large number of people including traders participated in the protest.

Corporator Gretta Rebello, B Ramdas Bhat, president of Samithi, Purushottam, vice president, Godwin Pinto, secretary, Prakash Salian, local leader, Sharath Shetty, Sharathchandra S, Chethan Kumar Urwa, Ozwald D’Cunha, Sathish Pengal, Ratnakar Suvarna, Pradeep Prabhakar, Lathish Puthran, Veen Shetty, Vinay Moodushedde, Girish Puthran, Vijay Shetty, Narayan Kotian, Stephan Maroli, Hilary Monteiro, Ravikala, Norbert Fernandes, Sesappa Devadiga among others took part in the protest.

    MCC has done a great blunder i.e.They have Dig the old market for the purpose of Base-ment.I think they came to know that the place is full of Water producing Place(ZARI,OSARU).I have seen from the day one,when Rain started,Ist three years MCC struggled a lot Pump the Water.Now they Know that if they Construct the market then it will be a Big Problem for them.So it is better to Demolish Present Base- ment,By filling Mud.Then it better to start Bulding the market from the Ground Level.

    In Mangalore at every inch there is a contractor.Roads and buildings are constructed at the great speed but market being the basic eminity left neglected.The blame goes to the present state govt. and MCC.
    Construct the market at the earliest and give justice to the vendors.
