The possibility would be explored to shift main Subzi Mandi, Shimla to some nearby suitable place like Darni-ka-Bagicha or near Himland building, Tutikandi. It would facilitate the growers, Aarties (Bulk buyers) and the consumers, as apart from adequate loading and un-loading space it would also provide an open space for parking. Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh said this while listening to the demand in this regard by a delegation of the Executive Body of Shimla Tehsil Gramin Vikas Sabha, Dhami led by Chairman Shri Ramesh Pant who called on the Chief Minister at Oak-Over here today.

He said that other demands of Vikas Sabha Dhami such as shifting of Development Block from Mashobra to Totu to facilitate the people of 27 panchayats of Shimla Rural Constituency, opening of PWD pision at Dhami and Government Degree College at 16 Mile would also be considered sympathetically.The delegation congratulated the Chief Minister on victory of Congress candidate Smt. Prathiba Singh from Mandi Parliamentary Constituency bye-election by a record margin.
