A vegetable market at sector 16 in Koparkhairane was inaugurated by Shiv Sena MP Rajan Vichare early this week. Residents were demanding a dedicated vegetable in the area for a long time. The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) had already provided a plot for the market but the construction of the market was taken due to some technical problems.

While inaugurating the market, Vichare said that market will provide a steady job for vegetable sellers as they do not have fear of removing by local administration. It will also clear footpath and road where vegetable sellers were selling vegetables.
On the occasion, Mathadi leader Krishikant Shinde, Sena district chief Dwarkanath Bhoir, district organizer Ranjana Shintre among others were present.
