Affirming the same, Kolan Sushma Mahender Reddy, Chairperson, Shamshabad Municipality said, "There is a proposal to promote 'Model Veg-and-Non-Veg Market' using 1.2 acres of open premises of Old R&B Building next to existing Vegetable Market at Shamshabad Crossroads.The model market would be developed with a project cost of approximately Rs2 crore having shades and partitions in the sprawling premises to facilitate the vegetable and meat vendors. The proposal has already reached the government through the channel of MRO, District Collect and Chief Secretary to government. If all things go well with the idea, the proposal will get a nod from the government next month."
