Meanwhile, IMWA President Dado Tajuk informed the media that my team has almost five months running and we have made several reforms in the market area right from opening of market to closing and selling in markets area with proper license and other. We are having proper coordination with the capital district administration , capital police and Itanagar municipal corporation for smooth functioning of the markets in the late evening. He said.
There are few important problems being faced due to the absence of parking space in front of business establishments and shops and hope that the administration and government do something for it so that the traffic and parking issues are regulated, rationalized and resolved. He said.
The most important decision which has been taken is to open the market on Sunday. For the public convenience and the difficulties faced by the government employees and the shopkeepers due to shutter down/closing of the market on Sunday, the closing of the market which was on Sunday has been shifted to Wednesday of every week instead of Sunday with effect from June first week. He said.
As per order of Capital district administration for business establishment along the National Highway-415 to remain open upto 10 PM in summer, the time table for opening of IMFL, Beer Bar, bond and distillery has also been specified by capital administration and all the shopkeeper are requested to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in their premise and disposed the garbage at proper location/vehicle.
