There are 1485 number of unauthorized shops dealing with local crafts, food items(fish, cashew etc.).These shops are presently situated along the cross roads joining the ForeShore road and Embankment. The majority of the shops have come into existence near theBlue View Ghat at Old Digha and Kshanika Ghat at New Digha. These shops have beenbuilt up in haphazard manner causing nuisance to the area along the crossroads by dumpedgarbage and creating interference with the easy movement in the area. To get rid of theunsightly situation, it has been decided to shift the shops to Vendors‟ Rehabilitation Centersat three sites identified by DSDA. The 3 sites identified for rehabilitation are planned toaccommodate as many as 620 shops among the 1485 shops during the project phase. Therehabilitation shops have internal dimension of about 3.0 M. X 2.5 M. The plan form of therehabilitation center has been developed to house the individual shops in multiple rows withcommon passages in between the rows. The planning takes into account the requirement offree movement of the people inside the complex for transacting the wares and of findingeasy access from all sides by means of plenty of entry and exit points. Sufficient ventilationand natural lighting have been ensured for providing comfort both to the purchasers andvendors.198.
