Salbari(Bodo: सालबारि ;Assamese:শালবাৰি) is one of the sub divisions of Baksa district in the state of Assam, India.[1]
History[]
A hundred years ago, there was no village named Salbari, but the place was surrounded by various sal plantations, leading to economic and population growth.
There were some old villages like Hudukhata, Samuagati, Kamlabari and Hasora. After some years, people moved to the Salbari sub-division and villages like Salbari, Madhapur, Udhiaguri Hadan, Tangabarigaon, Aaohata, Palchiguri, Pakriguri, Uhiaguri and Gwjwnphuri were created. There was also no marketplace near Salbari, so residents went to a one-day market around 8.5 kilometres away at Bahbari Bazaar, but sometimes people of Salbari had disputes with the larger groups or local people. Therefore, the people of Salbari had the idea of creating a local marketplace and started the Salbari Bazaar.
Salbari Bazaar now has SBI, several retailer, marketplaces , local shopes and police stations are available . The market is held every Wednesday and Saturday where all local vendors comes together to sell local products.
