Street vendors announce agitation against administration

Protesting against the administration’s step to remove the market from roadsides in the capital, street vendors on Friday announced a week long agitation starting from Saturday.
The vendors charged the administration that their footpath stalls were removed without providing them with any alternative and demanded that they should be allowed to run their business along the roadsides.
Amidst a press meet in the capital today, the street vendors of three districts in the Kathmandu Valley who have been deprived of the footpath and public places to run their business, publicised one week protest programme today.
The protest will be carried out phase wise. At first phase, memorandum will be submitted to the Constituent Assembly chairman on October 19.
Then after they plan to gherao the district administration offices on October 21, organise a torch rally the day after and eventually call for the Valley shut down on October 23.
