Allegations have been raised that shops are being set up by occupying footpaths and roads in the markets of Ghior upazila in Manikganj. Due to a lack of space in designated areas, shops are being placed on roads, causing severe suffering to hundreds of people including school and college students. This scenario is observed every Wednesday in areas like Ghior bus stand, rice market, fruit market, and vegetable market.
Additionally, foul odors from garbage in various parts of the market make movement difficult. Although regular taxes are collected, there are no dustbins or public toilets. Traders mention that the market area has decreased due to past leases and settlements. Ghior Upazila Nirbahi Officer Nashita Tul Islam stated that a public health campaign will soon be conducted to free the footpaths and roads from illegal occupancy.
