ANALYSIS

that is strict safety provisions were provided

because on weekend, everyone found a great rush in
the market.

14. Weakness : SWOT ANALYSIS
-- Markets are clustered and areas are not demarcated for specific
activities, i.e., streets are very haphazard.
-- The market has very few number of dustbins for the
visitors to throw away waste and hence the streets are
very dirty.
-- Very less seating provided compared to the number of
people visiting the market.
-- We observed very poor circulation in the market,
pickpocketing is common and visitors have to be very careful
and take extra care of their belongings while visiting here.
-- The market is lined with a periphery of trees but very few trees
existed inside the market reducing the shading effect.
-- Very few signage's are provided and hence locating various shops is a
problem for those visitors who are not very familiar with market.
-- Some shops of this market are not having proper lightening in the
evening, so it is advisable to shop in a day time for the customers.
-- They are also facing the same type of problem like day by day
growth of hawkers in CP that is creating serious problem. Hawkers
have blocked the road that is outside the Pallika Parking.
