Delhi govt to redevelop five markets to make them ‘world class’: Kejriwal

New Delhi: The Delhi government will redevelop the Kamla Nagar, Khari Baoli, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and Kirti Nagar markets to make them “world-class”, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday.
This is in accordance with the announcement in the Delhi government’s Rozgar Budget 2022-23 to create more job avenues.
“We have finalised the names of five markets to be redeveloped in the first phase. We have also listed out their USPs,” the chief minister said.
“Kamla Nagar, for instance, is a youth hangout zone, Khari Baoli is known for the best spices, Lajpat Nagar is a one-stop destination for wedding shopping, Sarojini Nagar is known for its street fashion while Kirti Nagar is a popular furniture and household decor market,” Kejriwal said, listing the markets chosen.
He added there will be a design competition to finalise the redevelopment plan.
“The next step would be a design competition in which the country’s best designers and architects will participate. We will announce this design competition in the next six weeks. These markets will be redeveloped based on best designs from the competition,” Kejriwal said.
