Mumbai civic body plans to set up 24 weekly farmer markets
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been asked by Mumbai Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar to identify 24 spots where weekly farmer markets could be set up. The move aims to provide direct platforms for farmers to sell their produce. This comes after farmers dumped their produce after officials stopped them from setting up temporary stalls on a Kandivli plot in April.
