Fruit vendors blame poor refurbishing work done recently by the BMC; complain that ill-maintained premises are shooing away customers, leading to heavy losses
The iconic fruit market at Crawford market is suffering heavy losses, and its vendors are blaming the BMC for their fiscal setback. According to vendors who have been selling fruits for generations at the market, customers have dwindled by almost 75 per cent at the 70-year-old market owing to shoddy refurbishment work done by the civic body inside its premises.
