Vendors encroaching upon roads

The state government has allocated fixed places and booths under the shed to vendors selling fruits and vegetables in the New Subzi Mandi. Despite that they have been encroaching upon pavements and roads making it difficult for the common man to move around in the city. The street vendors have taken permanent possession of all roads and pavements of Purani Subzi Mandi, dividing roads of sectors, around the Mini Secretariat and judicial premises, mall roads etc. The district administration should take steps to remove such encroachments. — Shakti Singh, Karnal
