It was just two weeks ago, when I last visited the Centenary Farmer’s Market. It looked crowded and dusty. Rubbish were thrown here and there. All items were mixed and had a tough time in locating what to find where. Momo sellers were seen selling momo and people throwing the
waste everywhere as if they lacked civic sense.
The vegetables were seen unhygienic and scattered everywhere. No one seems to bother the food safety and hygiene for the general public. Media reported on the issue about how the market is being mismanaged after it became functional.
Today, I went there for a vegetable shopping, I was impressed and glad to see that the market was of a total outlook. The vegetables were all seen in one location and fruits on another location unlike in the past where everything was clumped together.
It looked very clean and the stalls were arranged well by the vendors. Few Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) personnel were seen regulating the market to keep it clean and make sure that everything is in order.
I felt that this has helped both the vendors and the customers to maintain hygiene and sanitation and easy for the customers to locate the things which was not there in the past when the market was managed by Thimphu City Corporation. Thus, Heads off for the Ministry of Agriculture and BAFRA in particular!
This is what we as modern Bhutanese aspire to see in our country.
