DUSHANBE, May 6, 2015, Asia-Plus -- Two markets in Dushanbe – Shohmansour (farmers market) and Moshinbozor (vehicle marketplace) – are liable to demolition, an official source at the Dushanbe mayor’s office said. 

According to him, the markets will be demolished as part of ambitious municipal redevelopment plan that includes the construction of modern buildings.
