জানা গেছে, সদর উপজেলার বিভিন্ন এলাকার কৃষক প্রতি সোমবার ও মঙ্গলবার সকাল ৭টা থেকে বেলা ১১টা পর্যন্ত তাদের জমিতে উৎপাদিত সবজি কৃষক বাজারে সরাসরি গ্রাহকদের কাছে বিক্রি করবেন। কিন্তু উদ্বোধনের পর থেকে একদিনও কৃষক বাজার চালু হয়নি। প্রতি সোমবার ও মঙ্গলবার বাজার হওয়ার কথা থাকলেও সংশ্লিষ্টদের দায়িত্বে অবহেলার কারণে বাজারে কৃষকরা আসছেন না বলে অভিযোগ করেছেন অনেকে। নতুন হাটখোলা বাজারের ঠিকাদার মোকাদ্দেস হোসেন বলেন, ওই দিন উদ্বোধনের পর আর একদিনও বাজার চালু হয়নি। বাজারে কোনো কৃষক আসেননি বা বাজার চালুর বিষয়ে কোসো কর্মকাণ্ড চোখে পড়েনি।
