Leaders and workers from the Youth Congress and Block Congress joined the demonstration showing a united front on the issue.
While speaking with the to reporters Pal criticized the municipal council’s approach to managing street vendors. “The council periodically uses bulldozers to evict hawkers from the city center but they have failed to provide any permanent solution,” he said. Pal demanded that the authorities develop a sustainable plan for the street vendors warning of “strong protests” if forced evictions continue.
The Congress leader also issued an ultimatum to the municipal council stating, “If they don’t take appropriate measures they will have to take responsibility for the livelihoods of these footpath hawkers.”
