DELHI: In a first of its kind, CM Arvind Kejriwal announced a Delhi bazaar Web portal on Wednesday to help Delhi businessmen from small and big markets showcase their products globally and help shoppers revel in purchasing their favourite picks from national capital’s iconic markets.
The portal would be ready by August next year.
He said that every market of Delhi, including small colony markets, will be added to the portal to help the businessmen sell worldwide.
“A person sitting in America should be able to buy a product being sold in Hauz Khas online,” he said, adding that the portal would list hidden markets from Delhi neighbourhood and promote local businesses.
