From the Real Time Field Survey Part I

On 26th January, 2011 - on the eve of the Republic day we went out for a survey of the Kachari Ghat Bazaar, near Rabindra Bhavan. First we surveyed a hotel near by and was shocked to hear that from more then 7 years he used to bring water from his house or else from somewhere. Sanitation facility was also not proper which increases the risk of a non-hygienic atmosphere & that too near a market. Also came to know about land dispute & other problem enveloping the whole of market land.




However the Bazaar Committee has bought & supplied electricity to the stalls but that too for 2 hrs of max./day & charged a monthly amount of Rs 150 from each of the stall. Outside influence & dirty politics have a large role to play in deteriorating the market which once used to be the Hub of fresh vegetables & fish because of geographical location near the Brahmaputra River resulting in quick & cheap waterway transportation.
However we saw a small area under cultivation near the banks of Brahmaputra & some flowering plants nearby.




However people opened up their problems and also some solutions which would help the place to develop at least by having the basic amenities. But its worth mentioning that people agreed to help Govt. or any Body in building up the place but time will perhaps the best judge who is more dedicated in building up the place ..
