Manoj Kala, president mandi traders association, said that the shifting of the Sanyogitaganj Mandi to Kailod Kartal was also discussed. Presently the Sanyogitaganj Mandi is working in a 16-acre area, while the proposed Mandi at Kailod Kartal would be developed at 57 acre. We have suggested Kidwai to expand the area of the new Mandi because as the trade is increasing in this area will be also be shorter in short future. However, the Board MD has assured to consider over it.
