Karnal Sunday Market Gets a Makeover: Order Out of Chaos
Karnal Municipal Corporation officials held a crucial meeting with local traders and vendors on July 8, 2025, addressing long-standing concerns regarding the chaotic Sunday market. The meeting aimed to streamline operations and improve the overall experience for both vendors and customers.
A key decision involved the issuance of licenses to all vendors operating within the designated market area. This move is expected to bring much-needed regulation and accountability to the previously unregulated market.
To further enhance organisation, the corporation will demarcate specific vending zones using yellow lines. This clear demarcation will prevent encroachment and ensure a smooth flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
A significant step towards fair practice involves prohibiting shopkeepers from collecting rent from vendors. This move aims to prevent exploitation and create a level playing field for all market participants.
The implementation of these measures, beginning immediately, signifies the corporation’s commitment to establishing order and discipline within the bustling Sunday market. This initiative is expected to significantly benefit both vendors and consumers, boosting the local economy while ensuring a safer and more organised shopping experience. The success of this initiative will serve as a model for other cities facing similar challenges in managing their informal markets.
