It is creating so many traffic problems in the area. The market was started on October 17, 1987. It is spread across 9.16 acres of land.
It has now proved to be inadequate due to the growing needs of the farmers and population of the district. The market presently has 54 trade license holders, 36 commission agents. The crowd at the market has gone up due to steep jump in the yield of crops like maize, groundnut and paddy.
