Nowadays, people travelling in buses, cars, or rickshaws have often a gazing look at the Irabot Park, the lone such park at Kakching. The reason as you know is in front of you. That display board made a subtle change in the outlook of this park. In an interesting note, the police commandos do not get rough even though youths chatter and laugh there at the seat under the board, till late at night.But this piece is about few problems we everyday face at kakching, which has become an inevitable part in our daily lives.
Since Kakching Market is a fast developing one, automobile vehicles are increasingly used day by day. Their numbers will only be increased as time passes by. Meanwhile, there have not been developed parking places for those vehicles, it's not to my knowledge for what span of years the Kakching Bazar was planned and designed. The fact is that all types of vehicles are parked in front of the Irabot Park and the other edge of the main market. This makes the Indo-Burma-Sugnu road portion along the Kakching Bridge quite congested. And during evening, the traffic is the worst to be observed... young boys and girls riding 2 wheelers, uncountable number of cycles, jeeps, autos, rickshaws, buses, pedestrians, marketers, etc., make the figure quite complex to see.
And now, look at the conditions of the main roads where everyday we used to go. The koilas are all worn out, quite out of age; their layers are too thin to last a month; dirts are gathering up at everywhere thus decolourising the shops. Just, the charm of being a Bazar has been lost. Who will be happy when pollution comes out of depth, and begins to ruin their beauty? We don't like these things to happen, do we?
In another shortage, there are no dust bins in the market area, along the main road, inside the Irabot Park. Who, the benevolent, is going to purchase dust bins for the beautification of and controlling pollution in kakching?... I know there are people who can do it at our earniest request, but what the hell KMC is doing all the years! They must have got some budget... and 1 % of it is enough for keeping dust bins. Are they still waiting for someone to teach them run their brains? And, Why are we not so selfless to contribute for our own betterment?
There are too many questions to be asked to the authorities concerned,... whether it is KMC or the local MLA. However, how long all of us will be asking questions? If the one who should listen do not care about, to whom we should keep asking! May be, it's a challenge or an advantage for those who would love to bring changes. At their will and act, others have to depend their way of living. Yet again, it would be quite interesting if all of us are willing to take on the challange to meet our satisfactions. Then, we don't have to depend on others... we will be the so called ' developed society'...others will depend upon us, and again, we will help them move ahead.

Being a Kakching student, I will try my best to improve our town's condition in cooperation with the people.
