Gold mine in parking mess

More than 75,000 traders, dealing in everything from spices to textiles, imitation ornaments to readymade garments, operate from the 60-odd pattis (stretches) and katras (small markets) in Burrabazar. The sheer volume of trade makes Burrabazar a gold mine also for agencies that have been entrusted with the responsibility of keeping it clear of parking chaos. Lack of planning and the mushrooming of illegal buildings have led to road space in the commercial hub shrinking with each passing year. The problem has been compounded by vehicles being parked illegally, choking all the arteries.
