Dushanbe’s Shohmansour Bazaar, locally known as Zeleyony Bazar (Green Bazaar), is expected to be closed down this week.
The Shohmansour Bazaar director Mashrab Qarayev reportedly told merchants running their shops at the bazaar that they should move to the Mehrgon Bazaar (formerly Poytakht-90) until the end of this week.
Qarayev said new places had already been prepared for merchants at the Mehrgon Bazaar and they should sign contracts with Mehrgon owners.
The Poytakht-90 Shopping Complex was opened in September 2014. The Dushanbe budget allocated 202.6 million somoni (equivalent to some 40 million U.S. dollars) for construction of that complex.
