A state-of-the-art DUDA market has been opened in Tato, Arunachal Pradesh, aiming to improve sanitation standards and provide a structured platform for local vendors.
The Department of Urban Development and Administration (DUDA) has launched a modern market complex in the town of Tato, Arunachal Pradesh. The facility is designed with hygienic stalls, proper waste‑management systems and designated zones for different categories of goods, addressing long‑standing concerns over unsanitary street vending.
State officials said the market will help formalise the activities of small traders, offering them a regulated space that complies with health and safety norms. Vendors are expected to benefit from better footfall, secure storage and access to basic amenities such as clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.
Local authorities anticipate that the organized setup will not only raise public health standards but also stimulate the town’s micro‑economy by attracting shoppers from surrounding villages. The market is slated to operate on a daily basis, with provisions for periodic monitoring to ensure compliance with hygiene guidelines.
The inauguration marks a step forward in the state’s broader effort to modernise rural commerce and improve living conditions in remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh.
