Equipped with all facilities for farmers, having crores of rupees of turnover, and having lakh of tons of transactions, this market is considered to be genuine, a reasonable platform for farmers & one of the leading markets of the country yet declared unsafe due to lack of fire fighting arrangements in January 2018.
A fire broke out at the market day before yesterday at midnight at around 2:18 am due to a short circuit and took near about four hours to control. Post this incident, a senior official of APMC in conversation with The Live Nagpur told fire fighting arrangements are being done currently.
APMC stocks agricultural produce from not only Nagpur district but from neighboring districts and adjoining states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, etc.
