face. Mahendra Singh Bhayal, the newly elected director of FOSTA, an organization representing 80,000 cloth traders of the city, says that every trader of colored clothes should get the right to vote in FOSTA because there should be maximum voters in a healthy democracy. There are about 80,000 cloth merchants in 220 textile markets, in comparison to this, FOSTA has only 636 voters. He also said that this is his personal view and he will put it on the board once the functioning of FOSTA is smooth.

Mahendra Singh Bhayal represents Jash Textile Market in Fosta, he has done a lot in the market while being the secretary here for the last five years. He told that in the order of development in the Jash market in the last five years, the first number comes from the fully automatic fire system. The automatic fire system installed here is tested from time to time. Something is heated by burning something in front of the temperature sensor installed in the parking lot of the market and after reaching the set temperature, the shower of water starts automatically as soon as the blast occurs. Apart from this, the electricity used in the entire market is being generated from the solar system, the expenditure incurred in upgrading both these hi-tech systems was done by saving from maintenance and no extra money was taken from the traders for this. Water harvesting system is a big achievement of Jash Market. It is notable that a video made by Mahendra Singh Bhayal regarding water harvesting system is trending a lot these days and is being appreciated by the people. Under the water harvesting system developed here, all the rain water is going into the borewell, due to which the water level has come up.

Mahendra Singh Bhayal says that the leadership of Kailash Hakim and the support of Saket Group President Sanwar Prasad Budhia have been important in his journey from contesting elections to becoming director of FOSTA. He said that he had no desire to contest elections, but on seeing that Fosta had become a letter-buzzy Fosta, he felt a desire to change this identity of Fosta. He believes that all the organizations that have arisen in the textile market are the result of the frustration with the working style of Fosta.
