Indradhanu Market operates on government land amid vendor displacement issues
What happened
Indradhanu Market, which spans seven acres of General Administration department land, was built in 1991 to support Bhubaneswar’s retail sector, according to reports from orissapost.com. The market's establishment followed the eviction of approximately 547 small vendors from Gandhi Market in 1987. Although 313 vendors received permanent shops, the remaining vendors and newcomers have faced frequent eviction drives by the BMC and Bhubaneswar Development Authority due to a lack of permanent settlement.

Why it matters
The market houses various shops and government offices, serving as a key retail area in Bhubaneswar. The ongoing instability and lack of permanent settlement for traders create operational uncertainty for the businesses within the market.
The Bhubaneswar Development Authority operates as a major urban planning authority under the chairmanship of the Minister.
