BMC Police evict hawkers from roads and pavement
The hawkers have been a pain in the neck for Mumbaikars.
Most of the roads and pavements were illegally occupied by the hawkers causing inconvenience to the public to walk on the road and pavement.
Now it comes as a relief that the BMC and the police have evicted the hawkers. They deserve appreciation for their action.
As of now many roads are unrecognisable in the absence of these “feriwalas”. One does feel sad that they have been deprived of their livelihood.
But many of them spoiled their own case by their arrogance, insistence on blocking station entrances and roads, littering and spitting.
The cops should now arrest the hawker mafias who have hundreds of hawkers under them as paid employees.
For example there is this guy called Munna Kelawala of Ghatkopar who makes lakhs of rupees by getting hawkers to occupy prime spots in the already congested suburb.
He “manages” the N Ward office and even generates fines so that the civic staff can show on record that they are taking action.
