The vendors alleged that the CCP were charging ‘exorbitant ‘fees for the 12-day fair and claimed that there was no prior information shared by CCP on the fees finalized by the standing committee of the Corporation. “Last year, Rs 60 per square meter was charged per day, while this year the CCP is charging Rs 250 per square metre. So for 2x4 ie 8 square meters they are now charging over Rs 27,000 as against Rs 5,700 which was charged last year. CCP Mayor Rohit Monserrate told media persons, “Earlier lot of people used to purchase the forms for Rs 5,000 and sell it for Rs 20,000. This year you will not see a single agent or middle-men selling forms.
