Kurnool Eat Streets See Dwindling Crowds, Vendors Face Declining Sales
Imagine the city set up special food courts called 'Eat Streets' where people could buy yummy food at good prices.
At first, lots of people came to eat and vendors were happy.
But over time, fewer and fewer people are visiting these food courts.
The vendors are sad because they aren't selling much food anymore.
They are worried about paying back money they borrowed to start their food stalls.
Some vendors are thinking about closing their stalls or doing something else.
Even though fewer people are coming now, city officials still believe these food streets will become popular again.
Eat Streets promoted by Kurnool Municipal Corporation are experiencing a significant decrease in customer numbers.
Vendors at these Eat Streets are facing low sales and financial difficulties, with some considering closing their businesses.
KMC had initially offered 60 free stalls, but only 40 applicants came forward.
An example, 'Khana Khajana' under the Birla Gate flyover, offered over 100 varieties of food from 14 stalls.
Despite declining interest, a municipal official expressed confidence in the future success of the Eat Streets.
