Government to launch Chandranna Village Malls Soon

Amaravati: AP Minister Pattipati Pulla Rao said that "Chandranna Village Malls are being opened in Andhra Pradesh soon like Rajsthan State. He spoke in Civil Supply meeting said Government will distribute the commodities by 20% less than the market rate. The corporate companies Reliance and Future Groups were permitted to open the retail outlets in the villages. Earlier, it was proposed to name after NTR to the outlets. AP Minister Pattipati Pulla Rao said it is being renamed after Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Though the outlets will be opened in villages to sell essential commodities 20 percent less than market prices, leaders said the mall culture will destroy rural economy as many small grocery store owners will be forced to shut their shops unable to face the tough competition from corporate bodies. Once the small vendors closed their shops, the village malls will fleece the consumers and exploit the retail market.
