Fashion Street is one of the oldest shopping markets and according to civic officials, it is an easy target for terror attack due to its open space. A senior civic official informed that there is a plan to develop an underground market similar to Delhi's Palika market in place of the existing Fashion Street. So, we wanted to develop the market, and give it a new look," added the official. He added that police are more vigilant after the 26/11 terror attack in the city. Now, police patrolling has increased and we have to be vigilant most of the time," said another shopowner.
