At first glimpse, the market seemed to be prepared for the VIP guests with a large banner welcoming them. Potholes were freshly repaired and everything was cleaned for the delegates. The delegate’s wives reportedly enjoyed their time at the market and a few traders even sold their wares to them.
After being at the market for some time, some of the wives reportedly began to look for the restroom facilities and what they found wasn’t anything they wanted to use. The only toilet that seemed to have running water was in the parking lot and soon a long line developed. Head of Trading Cooperatives said that the toilets were the responsibility of a contractor and that the contract was going through a transition.
A large security force was also deployed to guard the wives with an entire platoon of military personnel, a platoon of police and municipal SATPOL units guarding the group.
