The history of Police Bazaar is intertwined with the development of Shillong as a major urban center in the British colonial era. It evolved as a commercial center, serving the needs of the growing population. The name "Police Bazaar" likely originates from the presence of a police station in the vicinity during the British Raj. Over the decades, it has transformed from a simple marketplace to a sophisticated commercial hub. While retaining its traditional character, Police Bazaar has embraced modernity, adapting to the changing needs and preferences of its customers. Today, it stands as a testament to Shillong's rich cultural heritage and its vibrant present.
