Vendors given a day to clear encroachments
Vegetable vendors at the town market staged a road roko in front of the market protesting the ‘operation eviction’ launched by the municipality in clearing encroachment of thatched structures at the entrance to the market. The merchants demanded a day’s time for voluntary removal of the encroachments to avoid any loss. The agitation continued for a while till municipal officials came to the scene. The officials conceded their demand but warned of stern action if the encroachments were not removed by Wednesday.
