Quite shocking but it is true that the bee line of buzzing customers who
use to venture out for bulk shopping at comparative better rate has disappeared.
Today we find a neat road in decades old vendors occupied Fancy Baazar street that
connects straight to popular commercial hub Lakhtokia.
According to B.B. Gohain, police officer in charge of a patrolling team to
follow up the order and debar any kind of mishap by vendors, added, "This
order is to stay in the future though many a times use to get uplifted on
community pressure. Since it is a matter of decade old vendor's livelihood,
possibilities of conflict is estimated. The commercial community of Fancy
Bazaar proposed to continue sale on road on 14th May, but failed to
resume till date after the implementation of this order from the court."
"This has left dramatic fall on customer inflow, varied products
accessibility and attractive price offer definitely. Court has empowered police
to take action against any kind of untoward activities by vendors as they are
extremely frustrated to see an end to their decade old business on road,"
added Krishna Das, a shopkeeper.
"On 14th May vendors planned to resume their business on road but
things did not materialize. Vendors are reluctant to take to GMC Market complex
as to the crowd estimation any kind of untoward incident can occur as it was
not built earlier for such large capacity people. As already the floors are
occupied. So vendors protested against this option of the municipality
board," Krishna Das added.
In the future as per to the court order, the vendors will be allowed to
resume their business by the side of Jail Road, few kilometers away from the
existent fancy bazaar area. But still people are not clear whether vendors will
resume as it is a matter of profit, already marketers have undergone major
loss, unable to resume even after one month. Underline matter of clearing road
in Fancy Bazaar is that is this an initiative to broaden roads of Assam's core
economic area? The biggest challenge for the present government lies in to
break the clutter and place the busiest old commercial areas like Paltanbazar,
Fancy Bazar and Panbazar Into systematic modern metro city concept.
