Jaipur: Jaipur Development Authority’s (JDA) new proposal to convert all community centres into market complexes is under scrutiny. Officials cited the poor condition of existing JDA-run market complexes across the city and said many struggled with low occupancy and non-operational shops.“The JDA-run markets across the city, especially the AC Market in Raja Park and the Nehru Market on Tonk Road, struggle with low occupancy and lack of operational shops. In fact, the situation is the same for the shops located inside the underpass of the JLN Marg at the Jawahar Circle and the underpass on MI Road near the Ajmeri Gate. The Ajmeri gate underpass is now being managed by the Jaipur Municipal Corporation and its not operational,” stated a JDA official, who did not want to be quoted. tnn
