BJP Leaders Meet Municipal Commissioner, Demand Market Development in Ayija
A meeting was held in Ayija town under the leadership of BJP Ayija Town President Kampati Bhagat Reddy. Party leaders gathered to felicitate CH Saidulu, the newly appointed Municipal Commissioner of Ayija Municipality in Jogulamba Gadwal district. They honored him with a shawl and floral garland.
During the meeting, Bhagat Reddy expressed concerns about the underutilization of the Integrated Market in Ayija. He pointed out that despite an investment of over ₹2 crore in public funds, the market remains unused.
He further highlighted the growing traffic congestion in Ayija, which worsens on Thursdays due to the weekly market. This market attracts traders and buyers from more than 28 villages in Ayija Mandal, 30 villages in Maldakal Mandal, 20 villages in Gattu Mandal, 10 villages in Vaddepally Mandal, and several villages in Itikyala Mandal. However, a lack of proper facilities has caused significant difficulties for both vendors and buyers.
The unregulated sale of fish, meat, and vegetables on roadsides has led to waste accumulation and unhygienic conditions. Locals are especially worried that meat sold in such conditions is getting contaminated, posing health risks.
To solve these problems, Bhagat Reddy and his team urged the Municipal Commissioner to make the Integrated Market operational as soon as possible. They suggested several improvements, including:
– Creating separate sections for meat, vegetables, flowers, and fruits to organize the market better.
– Installing streetlights, CC roads, CCTV cameras, and drinking water facilities.
– Providing shelter to protect traders and customers from the sun and rain.
– Adding proper lighting to allow business operations to continue at night.
On behalf of the people of Ayija town and mandal, BJP leaders requested the Municipal Commissioner to take necessary steps to make the market fully functional and beneficial for the public.
The event was attended by several BJP leaders, including Town Vice President Lakshman Goud, District Executive Members Veerayya Chari and Lakshmanachari, OBC Morcha District Executive Member Gadhiga Raghu, K. Shiva, and other party members.
