Sapekhati Weekly Market in Disarray; Traders Threaten Indefinite Closure

Nazira: The Monday weekly market at Sapekhati is reeling under deplorable conditions, leaving both buyers and sellers in distress. Despite the government’s much-publicised Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the market sheds have been reduced to open dustbins, with no visible effort from the authorities to maintain hygiene and infrastructure. The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), Sapekhati Regional Committee, had earlier submitted a memorandum to the administration and staged protests demanding urgent development of the market sheds. However, the appeals have gone unanswered, with no concrete measures taken by the local representatives, the Sapekhati Block Development Officer, or the Charaideo...

Sivasagar Panchayat Members Still Await Honorarium Despite Government Sanction

Despite official directives and sanctioned funds, Panchayat members of Sivasagar district have not received their honorarium for the period 2013–2018, leaving many disillusioned and frustrated. The Assam state government had sanctioned Rs. 46.34 crore for the disbursement of honorarium to Panchayat members across 21 districts.

In Sivasagar, this prolonged delay persists despite a directive from the Deputy Commissioner and the Executive Officer of the Zilla Parishad, instructing the...

Despite ongoing state-level efforts to remove illegal encroachments, a long-standing case involving the Nazira government hospital remains unresolved for over two decades. The case centers around land belonging to the Nazira health centre—established in 1944—which continues to be illegally occupied even after repeated court interventions.

Residents blame the hospital’s managing committee for being weak and inactive, enabling this situation...
