The major cities of eastern Nepal are Biratnagar, Itahari, Dharan, Damak and Birtamod. Who seem busy, active and in a hurry all day long. However, before evening falls, these cities slow down like a tired traveler.
Before 6 pm, the market area is deserted and the shutters of the shops start falling. Dance bars in Biratnagar and Dharan have been given permission by the local administration to operate till 12 o'clock, but other businesses close early. Shatrudhan Sah, a trader in Jaljala Mode, a busy market in Biratnagar, said, "It seems that the shop should be open all night, there should be a crowd of customers, and there should be a Vineway." Jogbani is the Indian bazaar about five kilometers away, where most of the goods can be found cheaply. Crowds of customers flock there . ``It is difficult to run a business during the day, what else could be done at night?'' complained Rampriya Yadav, a cloth merchant at Traffic Chowk. Near
, cities including Siliguri in India become Gulzars overnight, which keeps the entire economy running . However, in the cities of Nepal, there is no night market, which is slowing down the local economy, said Mahesh Jaju, a businessman. According to him, it is sure that the economy will be helped if the night market runs, but it is difficult to run the market due to many problems of businessmen and consumers. Only hotels, bars and restaurants in
cities remain open until midnight. Other businesses will soon be closed . Businessmen complain that the police administration is a drag on the operation of the night market. District administration Morang has instructed to close the business within 12 at the latest . Chief District Officer Indradev Yadav said, "In the case of dance bars, there is a provision to close the shop shutters by 12:00 pm and in other businesses by 10:00 pm." According to
business people, the main reason for early business closures is poor security . Being the capital of the province, there are regular police patrols, street lights are also sufficient. Common people are not able to walk freely on the streets at night. For women, the city seems more unsafe. "Businessmen are also reluctant to open their shops late at night," said Prakash Bohra, a local of Biratnagar-3, "There is no business, why wait for customers all night?" The bus park remains deserted after the vehicle to the destination has left. Businessperson Harikrishna Chaudhary says that doing business at night is risky. He says, "Our social thinking has not changed." The idea that it is indecent to open a shop late at night is still strong.'
The night market is not only about opening restaurants, bars and cafes, it is also the overall economic engine of the city . Night market creates jobs in hotel business, tea shop, security guard, cleaning service, taxi service etc. . Bhavish Kumar Shrestha, a tourism businessman who keeps the economy running together, says . ``If the state guarantees security, the businessmen are ready to open their shops all night,'' he says, ``but, support from the state is necessary.'' He says, "It is beneficial to be able to give vitality to the night market by designating a certain area."
Reliable public security, development of women-friendly places, night time public transport services and clear night market policies, etc., are of the opinion of local businessmen who can brighten up the potential of the night market . Sanman Rai, an employee of Biratnagar's Yaxa restaurant, said, "If the administration has given the permission, we are ready to serve the customers throughout the night."
