The Sunday Market near the city tower junction, adjacent to the KFC outlet is causing a lot of harassment to the general public especially for the Sunday church goers. Though the intention of the authorities maybe good yet it is causing a lot of inconvenience and disorder to the believers earnestly attending the Sunday devotional services. Members of several major churches like the Lotha Baptist Church, DABA, Chang Baptist Church, Sumi Baptist Church take this route from in and around the vicinity. The vendors and the vegetable hawkers hovering near the narrow road create a lot of pandemonium for both pedestrians as well as motorists. Buses and trucks plying have a hard time maneuvering the market area due to the random parking, thanks to those drivers driving the latest cars with no civilized sense. After the market sprouted up, it has now become a miserable routine and a dreary habit of arriving late for the church service as the obstruction by the market causes the delay. From time to time this market have been shifted to other location like the Tata parking site by orders issued from the authorities but it becomes the same again and it comes back to square one after sometime. We have another open market site near the bus and sumo stand behind the Town Hall. The reason best known to our authorities why this market shed is still not used for such a long time. Even after the church service gets over, one have to yet go through an ordeal of negotiating the stretch getting home from that so-called Sunday market which sometimes take around 20 minutes to half an hour. It’s a complete mess. One cannot deny that the market is giving some solace from going to such a far distance as Dillai gate bazaar or Khatkhati but atleast do give us some relief from the chronic traffic snarls, atleast on Sundays, atleast to the church-goers.
