Patni Bazaar traders in Ujjain sought a one-month extension from the Ujjain Municipal Corporation (UMC) regarding the widening of Ujjain Road from Gudri Chauraha to Gopal Mandir. On Tuesday, the traders visited the building officer's office at the UMC headquarters but found no senior official present; only a peon was available. The traders presented their written replies to the peon, requesting an extension due to the market being closed for ten days during the removal of the Shahi Masjid, subsequent holidays, and the approaching Diwali season.
With Diwali approaching, the traders expressed difficulty in retrieving the required documents during the busy shopping period. They have now sought a month's extension and are awaiting a response from the UMC administration. The widening project has raised concerns among traders, as it dominates discussions in the market. They are concerned that the UMC may initiate action against non-compliant traders after Diwali, creating anxiety among the traders.
BJP corporator Shivendra Tiwari has also demanded accountability for officials who allowed illegal constructions in the Simhastha fair area, citing a UMC resolution and a municipal act provision.
