Bosal said availability of fresh fruits, vegetables and other food items would be ensured in these bazaars and monitoring teams would monitor the prices on day-to-day basis.

Arrangements: While reviewing arrangements for security and cleanliness at sasta bazaars, he said these bazaars should be established on spacious places in all tehsils of the district keeping in view the traffic and parking problems.

He said permits for fair price shops and stalls would be given to those who were regularly establishing stalls in Sasta bazaars all the year.

Bosal also constituted committees to monitor the sasta bazaars. Each committee comprised a member of union council, members from bazaar committees and TMA officials. He said price magistrates would also hold meetings to check and assess the performance of these bazaars on daily basis.
