Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao has directed the municipal department to build at least one integrated vegetable and meat market in each town by March 31, so work is rapidly progressing.
The department had planned to build 144 integrated markets across the state in 129 municipalities and 12 municipal corporations. 10 of these have been completed and opened to the public, with work continuing on the remaining 128.
At the Pattana Pragathi workshop earlier this month, the MAUD Minister directed officials to build at least one integrated market in each town before the end of the financial year.
He desired that officials from various departments work together more effectively. Additional Collectors (ULBs) have been directed to visit the sites, and if there are any issues, the matter should be brought before the Collectors immediately.

Sites were identified in many locations, and work was progressing slowly due to a variety of factors, including a lack of coordination between departments and a delay in clearing contract bills.
Each market is built on an area of about two acres, depending on the location. According to feasibility, each market would have a minimum of 50 stalls and a maximum of 150 stalls. Each market is being built at a cost of around Rs.3 to Rs.6 crore.
Aside from fish, chicken, and mutton, market stalls would sell fresh vegetables, fruits, and flowers all under one roof. The government has already set aside Rs 500 crore for the construction of integrated vegetable and meat markets, and work is already underway in several locations.
