People go to the markets to buy different things. But there is something special in Sunday, something unique. This is the day which is dedicated to the kitchen. People go to the markets to buy eatables like fruits, vegetables, meat, chicken etc.
The biggest fruit ann vegetable market in my area is Township Main Market. It is exactly in the middle of the area. There is a big cloth market on one side and across the road its the main vegetable market.
The market is all set up in a small congested street. The people with their carts also stand in the same street which makes it more difficult to walk in this market. People buy eatables from here but it is highly unclean. The place is so smelly that any normal person can get a good amount of anaesthesia for the next whole week.
There is also a small chicken market in this area. The place has open gutters, garbage all around and a large number of mosquitoes which can cause many diseases. But still it is the biggest market in the area.
Being a rushy place, the market also has a police station. But can we really call it a safe place to go? The answer is No. We cant call it a safe place as there is no security in the area. As we all know that its the era when terrorists are all around us. But this area is so congested that any mishap can cause a big loss. Just outside the market there is a bus stop where the traffic is blocked all the time. It is so hard to get out of this small area just because of massive blockage of traffic.
I think that the government should pay attention to this area. The roads should be wide enough so that the traffic doesnt get blocked. There should be more security in the area. The main problem of this area is that its very dirty and the garbage all around the area is a home for many types of diseases. So why should I just ask the government to provide certain facilities, why not should we start cleaning up the place?
It is the high time when we should start thinking about the cleanliness of the area around us. We should throw the rubbish in dustbins instead of throwing it on the road. The heaps of chicken skin should be cleaned on daily bases so that it does not become a home for different diseases. In order to change something in the area, first, we need to change ourselves.
