The meeting formed part of the Government’s broader 24-hour economy initiative, which aims to promote continuous economic activity, strengthen local commerce, create employment opportunities, and improve market infrastructure within the municipality. Discussions focused on the anticipated socio-economic benefits of the project, while also providing a platform to address concerns, gather input from key stakeholders, and build consensus for the smooth implementation of the proposed market.
