🚨 HAGEN MARKET | LAW AND ORDER CONCERNS
Growing concerns are being raised over the law-and-order situation at Hagen Market, with some community members alleging that individuals from mostly Hagen (Asples)
and nearby settlements are involved in criminal and anti-social activities around the market.
Allegations include hold-ups involving bush knives, the sale of illegal drugs, public consumption of alcohol including Firewara, and other disturbances.
The situation is affecting hardworking mothers, farmers and small-scale vendors who depend on the market to sell their produce and provide for their families.
Many are also questioning the lack of proper security and consistent law-and-order enforcement at the market.
Community members say these concerns have continued for years, yet a lasting solution has still not been seen.
Our mothers and farmers deserve to work in a safe environment. Hagen Market belongs to the community, and people are calling for stronger security and action from the relevant authorities.
This is not about blaming an entire community..it is about dealing with those responsible and making Hagen Market safe again.
