Sapjuri, Assam: The bustling Sapjuri weekly market has become a focal point of unease following reports of persistent donation collection drives, which have led to a palpable increase in tension within the local trading community and among visitors. The situation, described by local observers as increasingly delicate, centers around groups allegedly soliciting funds from vendors and customers, creating an atmosphere of discomfort and potential coercion.
Sources within the market indicate that these collection efforts have become a regular feature, prompting concerns about their legitimacy and the manner in which they are conducted.

The current state of tension risks deterring both sellers and buyers, potentially affecting the local economy. While no official statement has yet been released by local authorities, the community hopes for a swift resolution to restore peace and order to the market.
