CLOSURE OF SUPER BAZAR


Super Bazar, the Cooperative Store Limited, New Delhi has been directed by the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies (CRCS), vide order dated 5.7.2002, to be wound up, said Shri V. Sreenivasa Prasad, Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in Lok Sabha today.

While issuing order for winding up of Super Bazar, the CRCS observed that, at present, Super Bazar is on the brink of financial collapse, and that without continuous financial support from Government, is not in a position to carry out its activities.

Super Bazar has reported that, at present, the number of retail outlets is 125, which are all non-functional due to the winding up process.

Super Bazar has negative net worth taking into account the depreciated value of its assets and the losses accumulated over the years.
