Under the operating rope, a large number of hawkers and retailers are already removed from the road edges and sidewalks. Recently, Hawkers displaced a demonstration in front of the GHMC company office and demanded that the harassment be stopped.
Mla Akbaruddin Owaisi raised this problem during the meeting and questioned whether GHMC wanted sellers to become pockets.
Officials assure that the new phase will not target sellers, but commercial entities that occupied sidewalks to install their extension, such as steps, brands, kiosky, poles and other such obstacles.
