[Resolved]  Sahakari Bhandar / Reliance Fresh — Vegetable market in Khanda Colony at affordable prices

Address:

Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

Sir/Madam

A few months ago there were 3 to 4 outlets selling fresh fruits and vegetables in Khanda Colony. The first one was Foodland which closed down 5 years back. Then there was More and Spinach which closed down last year. Then came Sahakari Bhandar which was doing very well and then closed down suddenly on 4th September 2011. The fruits and vegetables sold in these malls were at very cheap prices and very fresh and of good quality. This was due to the fact that these were procured directly from the farmers. But now since the last one year, the residents are forced to purchase from the retailers who charge a ransom for the vegetables and fruits. They fear no one and there are no CIDCO vans doing the rounds to curb this practice of illegal prices.

It is a humble request to Sahakari Bhandar or any other mall to kindly reopen the outlet exclusively for fruits and vegetables.The prices at DMart for vegetables are very high as sold by AP Mani and have to be reduced. The authorities are requested to conduct raids and trigger a reduction in the prices of fruits and vegetables
