Ranchi vendor markets sinking under choked drains, unhygienic surroundings, & poor infra
1 2 Ranchi: The city's main vendor markets, especially Naga Baba Khatal and Kokar, are characterised by choked drains, unhygienic surroundings, and poor infrastructure. These public spaces remain on the margins of municipal attention in spite of being important areas in a civilised society. A vendor at Rs 10.86-crore valued Naga Baba Khatal Vendor Market, Rekha Devi, said, "Overflowing drains, stagnant water, and heaps of rotting vegetables have turned the area unbearable. Even a small shower turns this place into a filthy swamp. The stink is terrible. Customers avoid coming here." Echoing the statement, customer Neha Kumari said, "The area lacks drainage system. We have to walk in muck mixed with vegetable waste. Toilets are barely usable, especially for women." At Kokar Vendor Market, vendors operate beside garbage piles and blocked drains. "The waste isn't picked up regularly, turning into heaps and lying scattered with rainwater," said Imran, a fruit seller. The Atal Vendor Market, built at a cost of Rs 54 crore with 478 shops, is structurally better but overcrowded. Vendors and customers struggle to navigate narrow congested passages. "There's no space to walk during rush hours, especially when shopkeepers display goods outside their stalls," said Arun Kumar, a vendor. Though these markets were constructed to decongest roads and fight encroachments, their neglected condition is forcing vendors back onto roads and footpaths. "The markets helped control encroachment to some extent. However, the vendors prefer doing their business from the roadside, where footfall is higher and conditions are manageable," said Shabnam Ansari, a vendor at Naga Baba Market. Assistant municipal commissioner Nikesh Kumar said, "Each market has four to five cleaning staff. Restoration files have been submitted to the authorities. Upgradation of infrastructure would begin based on approval." "For hundreds of vendors and thousands of customers, restoring hygiene and functionality in these markets isn't about comfortbut survival," said Ritu Sinha, another customer at the Atal Vendor Market.

After SC order, MMRDA seeks price bids from L&T on projects
Mumbai: Nearly two weeks after MMRDA informed Supreme Court that it had "in public interest" scrapped its tenders for the Thane-Ghodbunder-Bhayander twin tunnel and elevated road projects—collectively estimated at Rs 14,000 crore—the planning authority has sought detailed financial estimates from infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The projects include an underground road tunnel from Gaimukh to Fountain Hotel Junction on Ghodbunder Road and an elevated road from Fountain Hotel Junction to Bhayander. Sources said MMRDA sent a letter on June 10 asking L&T to submit detailed financial estimates/price bids, rate analysis and justification and related documents in seven working days "to ensure completeness of the bid records" and "further transparency and public interest". The tender process for the projects had landed in court after MMRDA disqualified L&T from the technical bids round by declaring it non-responsive, saying it had failed to submit a mandatory affidavit. The affidavit required bidders to declare that none of their bridges had collapsed within two years of completion. Megha Engineering and Infrastructure, a prominent purchaser of electoral bonds prior to being scrapped by the apex court, was declared the successful bidder. L&T then moved Bombay HC, alleging lack of clarity over the rejection and the decision not to open its financial bids. HC granted a temporary stay on the opening of price bids on May 13 but dismissed L&T's petitions on May 20, observing "material suppression" by the company. The court upheld MMRDA's tendering process. L&T approached SC, which expressed surprise that technical bids of a firm that had built Central Vista and Atal Setu had been rejected. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The company disclosed during the proceedings that its quoted prices were significantly lower—Rs 6,498 crore for the tunnel and Rs 5,554 crore for the elevated road. SC was informed that the difference was over Rs 3,100 crore between the lowest bidder and L&T. The bench asked MMRDA how L&T could be technically disqualified from the projects in that case and directed it to check with the state govt if it was willing to re-tender the projects. SC disposed of L&T's petition after MMRDA agreed to re-tender the projects. MMRDA has since maintained that both SC and HC had upheld its submission, but that in deference to the courts and in line with its institutional commitment to transparency, it was decided that both tenders would be scrapped and a fresh tender process would be initiated. In its June 10 letter, it said it had decided to voluntarily scrap the tenders and revise cost estimates in the "spirit of transparency and larger public interest. "
