Regularising the bazaar leases
More than two hundred shops in the Ganjali Khan bazaar belong to the endowment. Many leases had gone unrenewed for decades and rents were far below their real value.
Through official valuation and face-to-face dialogue with shopkeepers, new leases were drawn up at fair rates with defined annual increases. Long-standing traders kept priority, and Kerman's crafts — from carpets to pateh embroidery — received a special share of the shops.
