After months of waiting, a new, cleaner and sleeker Palika Bazaar at Connaught Place was inaugurated by Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Saturday. The Rs 30-crore project has been executed by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).

The market, constructed in 1978,has the distinction of being the first air-conditioned underground market in the country. “With the passage of time, a need was felt to upgrade and renovate the existing facilities to meet the requirements of traders and shoppers,” said a senior NDMC official.

The air-conditioning plant and air-handling units have been replaced as part of the upgrading. “Twenty big exhaust fans have also been installed for air circulation and they will function from November to February. This will create a very comfortable environment for shoppers,” added the official.
