Street vendors demonstrated on Thursday against "eviction" by Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation as part of the beautification drive for the upcoming Pravasi Bharatiya Divas celebration in the city. Thousands of street vendors protested outside the BMC North Zone office at NALCO Square, blocking the main road that connects Jaydev Vihar to Nandankanan Zoo. Odisha Roadside Vendors' Association president Pratap Kumar Sahu said that without any prior notice or rehabilitation, the authorities started evicting them in the name of beautification. The 18th edition of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is scheduled to be held here at Janata Maidan from January 8 to 10.
