Siliguri, 19th August: Siliguri’s Regulated Market has been submerged underwater due to continuous downpour. As a result, the traders, labourers and customers are facing difficulties.
Traders said that several items kept inside their shops were damaged due to rainwater. They alleged that such a situation has been created due to a poor drainage system in the market area. As the sewers are not cleaned regularly, dirty water has accumulated in the market premises.
On the other hand, the workers are also facing problems due to the accumulation of water in the market. They spent the whole night awake as rainwater seeped into their house.
