Azadpur Mandi struggles for basic necessities

This year in the month of April, Delhi's development Minister Gopal Rai passed a budget of Rs 477 crore for the development of mandis in the national capital. But despite the allocation of funds, the situation on the ground has not changed a bit. The Sunday Guardian visited Asia's largest vegetable mandi, Azadpur mandi. The mandi is spread over 79.83 acres of land and daily it caters to thousands of visitors coming from around the nation. But the drinking water facility in the mandi is in a deplorable condition.

There are 28 drinking water facilities in the mandi and according to locals, these facilities serve dirty and salty water. Kamlesh Sahni, who is working as a labourer in the mandi for the last decade, was drinking water from one of the drinking water facilities; he looked unhappy while drinking water. He said: "Water is always salty and has a bad taste and it has a bad smell. But what can I do, I am poor, and I can't afford packaged drinking water. I am obliged to drink this water."
