Prayagraj gears up for its ideal midnight hangout
In an age when people are so busy that they do not get time to engage in discussions or even fulfil basic needs, shopping has fast turned into a privilege of a chosen few. Keeping these things in mind the state of Uttar Pradesh will be getting its first unique night market which will start in Uttar Pradesh at the Sangam City Prayagraj.
The facilities of the market will be such that they will go on till 2 pm when the market will close daily as per official closing timing. Meanwhile to keep track of the law and order situation spiralling out of hand, CCTV cameras have been installed in the market. Police will be deployed in the market to ensure security is tight.
The idea of the Night market is part of the push for turning Allahabad now Prayagraj smarter under the Smart City Project starting from June. It is learnt that a tender will be floated in the next fifteen days for the night market which will cover a space of Maharana Pratap intersection to Dhobighat intersection and on Kamala Nehru Road.
This will be the first night market in UP. A budget of nearly three crore rupees has been spent in preparing day parking and night market in two posh areas of the city. Now the exercise to start the market has started.
More than 100 temporary shops can be set up at the selected two locations. The shopkeepers will have to collect the goods after the end of the market at 2 pm. This is because parking will be done at this place during the day.
Shopkeepers may have to pay 50 to 100 rupees per shop per day for setting up shops. The market run seven days a week. Everyday items including clothes, utensils, kitchenware, general store goods, toys for children, stationary items and hygienic restaurants that will give the average foodie a place to unwind and eat will all be on offer.
The CEO Smart City and Municipal Commissioner Ravi Ranjan has been quoted saying the night market will take place seven days a week. Both big and small traders can set up shops in it. Full security arrangements will be made. A complete blueprint of the scheme has been prepared to streamline its functioning.
