Shifting Gaddiannaram market is for better purpose: HC

The bench permitted members of the Wholesale Fruit Commission Agents Association, other licence holders and the petitioners to continue their operations from the present Gaddiannaram market for a month.

Gaddiannaram fruit market is being shifted to Batasingaram temporarily and later permanently to Koheda for a larger and better public purpose of building a super-speciality hospital.

Making this observation, Telangana High Court on Monday declined to interfere in the matter of shifting the market and handing over the market land to the government to construct superspeciality hospital. A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice A. Rajasheker Reddy, disposing of a batch of writ appeals and writ petitions, hoped that the State government would make all necessary arrangements at the make-shift market at Batasingaram for the convenience of all stakeholders like fruit sellers and commission agents.

The bench permitted members of the Wholesale Fruit Commission Agents Association, other licence holders and the petitioners to continue their operations from the present Gaddiannaram market for a month. During this time the authorities should expedite works like shifting the cold storages, set up primary health centre with medical doctor, canteen and toilets, the bench said.
