Street vendors ask civic body to return seized pushcarts in Tamil Nadu

New Indian Express  

VELLORE: Street vendors who operate tiffin shops opposite Anna Kalai Arangam in Vellore petitioned the Corporation Commissioner on Wednesday regarding civic body workers confiscating their pushcarts on January 30 and 31. P Saravanan, District Secretary of the New Democratic Labour Front, said that four pushcarts were confiscated on January 30 and seven on January 31, without any prior notice. So the party cadres had allegedly asked the street vendors to not open their shops on that particular day. As a result, a squabble broke out between DMK cadres and street vendors, which resulted in the confiscation of the pushcarts of the vendors by the civic authorities on January 30 and January 31, citing traffic congestion and lack of permissions.
