Srinagar: Scores of vendors
working in the busy Gonikhan market in Srinagar Wednesday alleged that they
were thrashed by some traders and their pushcarts along with the commodities
were set on fire.
A delegation of
vendors told CNS that some traders from Gonikhan Market Association abused them and forcibly evicted
them from the market while few people used patrol and set fire to their
pushcarts, an allegation refuted by Gonikhan Market Association.
Ghonikhan traders
in Srinagar city told CNS that the market is exclusively meant for ladies and
these female customers always feel inconvenience as the roadside vendors in the
market are on a prowl.
“They are present
in the market everywhere and wherever they find any space, they occupy it
illegally,” one of the traders said adding that after the inaction of police,
they were forced to clear the market from these encroachers themselves.
They said these
roadside vendors have also occupied a large space at the mouth of the
Amirakadal and this development has given rise to traffic mess on the road
round the clock.
