Market Management Transition After 56 Years; Board Notes One Community Held Shops for Two Decades

The Waqf Board has announced a significant change regarding the management of the Ijtima market, a decision that comes after 56 years of oversight by a single community. Previously, the shops in the market were maintained by one particular community for the last two decades, but the board has decided to take a new approach.

The Waqf Board aims to diversify the management and ensure equitable distribution of the markets facilities. This decision is seen as a move towards fostering inclusivity and providing opportunities for various communities to engage in commerce and trade within the bustling market.

This initiative by the Waqf Board is expected to enhance the markets administration and potentially improve services for both shoppers and vendors. It aligns with the boards broader objective of managing Waqf properties in a manner that serves the public interest.

In addition to changing the management structure, the Waqf Board is also planning to introduce new regulations and guidelines to better serve the needs of the community. These changes may include updated leasing policies, improved infrastructure, and additional support for small businesses.

The decision to restructure the Ijtima markets management reflects the Boards commitment to modernizing its operations and ensuring that all stakeholders have a voice in the processes that affect them. The upcoming changes are anticipated to foster a more vibrant and cooperative environment, benefiting both merchants and customers alike.
