Jalandhar, May 13

The Punjab Mandi Board on Wednesday began construction of approach roads to the Partappura vegetable and fruit market.

The work was started in the presence of the chairman of Market Committee, Jalandhar Cantonment, Harbhupinder Singh Samra; the District Mandi Officer, Davinder Singh Kainth, and other officials. Samra said the new fruit and vegetable market was made functional on May 6 to decongest the one at Maqsudan. The huge rush at the Maqsudan mandi was a cause of concern, he said.

The chairman said the new market would service farmers and people from Nakodar, Shahkot, Kapurthala, Jalandhar Cantonment and other adjoining areas.
