He says that the market has been constructed at a cost of $120,000 with proper facilities like toilets, tables and benches adding that gone are the days when vendors used to sit on footpaths or roadsides under the rain trees during rain or sun.

Bala also acknowledged the Council workers who have been involved in the construction.

He says that there are about 72 stalls however more stalls will be added to accommodate vendors who were not able to get a stall initially.
