Hawkers for rehabilitation before eviction
UNB
Hawkers in the capital yesterday demanded that they be rehabilitated before their eviction from footpaths, reports UNB. The demand was made from a human chain formed by Bangladesh Hawkers Sangram Parishad in front of the National Press Club. The human chain programme was arranged marking one year into the eviction of hawkers from the city footpaths. Parishad President Abul Hossain said though Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina assured them of constructing a multi-storey market for the hawkers, the authorities concerned have not yet taken any initiatives to this end.
