In the clutches of hawkers, fish sellers starveSakaal News Service: Chhatrapati Shivaji Mandai in Wadala taken over by hawkers and rag-pickers

Fishmongers allege that the Municipality is not taking any concrete action. Vendors have to suffer a blow to their income and still do business in the market.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhaji Mandai is the only market providing for approximately 5 lakh residents of the neighborhoods of Wadala BPT Colony, Nadkarni Park, New Colony, Old Colony, Sadbhavna Nagar, Korba Mithagar, Ganesh Nagar, Barkat Ali Naka, Dosti Park and Shivshankar Nagar. There are approximately 250 stalls (galas) in the market. Of these, sellers do business in 70 galas, but because of the encroachment of illegal hawkers that is getting worse day by day, they are being pushed to the brink of starvation. Because of this encroachment, the number of customers in the market has reduced, and only 25 vendors are doing business by bearing huge losses.

More importantly, despite a clear ‘No Hawkers Zone’ signboard outside the market, illegal hawkers have settled down and refuse to move. There is discontent because the municipality and BPT officials refuse to take any action against them. The vendors complained that the municipality levies a fine even if they miss a month’s rent. The monthly rent is Rs. 174 and if that is not paid, a Rs. 50 fine is levied. If you don’t pay rent for six months, compound interest is levied. But there is nothing to write home about in the name of basic infrastructure.

Action should be taken by the Municipality and the BPT.

Cleaning of the market is done on a timely basis, but there’s a big mess because of the hawkers sitting outside the market. The ragpickers have also encroached Therefore the market has been surrounded on all sides. Chhatrapati Shivaji Mandai Committee vice-president Tukaram Gavas and treasurer Sameer Jamadar demanded that concrete action should be taken against illegal hawkers and rag sellers on behalf of the municipality and BPT.

The state of the Chhatrapati Shivaji vegetable and fish markets is deteriorating day by day. Business has been suffocating because of the unauthorised hawkers. Even vendors with registered galas in the market have to resort to unauthorised businesses to sustain themselves - Manisha Patel, female fishmonger

The municipality had given the Chhatrapati Shivaji Mandai Committee the responsibility of managing the market. As per that, the committee is tending to gala owners well, but for basic hygiene and sanitation facilities, the gala owners have to count out extra cash apart from the rent. - Raja Maiwan, Fishmonger
