MARGAO, DEC 3
Margao New Market Traders Association has threatened to intensify their stir if their demand for denotification of the pick-up stand road as no parking for four-wheelers is not revoked immediately.
Market traders under the leadership of Association President Vinod Shirodkar have knocked the doors of the district Collector, South G P Naik with a request to revoke the notification.
Strongly protesting against the erection of no parking board along the pick-up stand between Royal Foods and Borkar super market, Shirodkar has demanded the immediate removal of the boards notifying parking only for two-wheelers along the busy road.
“This stretch of road is being utilized by our traders. If the road is notified for two-wheelers, we would face various problems, affecting our business and subsequent financial loss”, Shirodkar said in a memorandum addressed to the district Collector.
He further informed that in the New Market, the number of two-wheelers being too large, there would be any space left for four-wheelers owner to park their vehicles for unloading of goods.
Besides, he pointed out that if four-wheelers are banned, then people coming in for shopping in the new market will decrease, affecting their business.
Moreover, the market traders drew attention of the district Collector to the construction of a multi-storey building at the pick-up stand stretch without setbacks and parking. “When the shops and business establishments in this building are finally open, it will cause obstacles for the smooth running of the vehicles on the road”, he added.
