Chandigarh, August 26
Fourteen years after their construction, the MC finally managed to auction 33 booths at the AC Fish and Meat Market in Sector 41 here.
All 32 booths and a chill room at the market were auctioned today on monthly licence fee basis for a period of five years. The MC fetched Rs16.50 lakh as earnest money deposit from the open auction and will receive licence fee of approximately Rs5.42 lakh plus GST per month against the reserve price of Rs3.88 lakh.
In February, the corporation had to withdraw the tenders floated for the purpose as only nine persons showed interest in buying the units. Before that, the MC had made several attempts, but the booths failed to find any takers.
The booths were constructed by the UT Administration at a cost of Rs5 crore in 2006. These were later handed over to the civic body in 2009. The MC offered to sell these for Rs60 lakh each, but failed to do so. Then it offered to rent these out for Rs30,000-Rs35,000 per month. Now, it has lowered the monthly fee to Rs10,000-Rs15,000.
