NONGSTOIN: Nongstoin MLA Macmillan Byrsat along with officials on Friday inspected Nongstoin Market, one of the oldest in the district, with a view to develop it.
On inspection, it was found that the market is in a poor condition with no proper drainage system, footpath and infrastructure.
Byrsat said that the market needs to be revamped with all necessary facilities.
With lack of basic requirements, the market, which is the main source of income for the people of the district, is lagging behind in many ways, Byrsat said.
