Residents of Chicalim have demanded the removal of illegal permanent vendors operating in the village’s residential area, alleging that several have encroached upon spaces designated exclusively for movable hand carts.
During a meeting, villagers pointed out that while the designated vending zones were intended only for hand carts, a number of vendors had allegedly erected permanent structures, causing inconvenience to residents and obstructing the area’s intended use.

The residents also expressed concern over what they described as a growing public nuisance in the locality. They alleged incidents of eve teasing, illegal parking of taxi vehicles on public roads, open urination, accumulation of garbage and poor sanitation, all of which they said have adversely affected the quality of life in the neighbourhood.
According to the villagers, these issues have raised serious safety, hygiene and environmental concerns. They urged the authorities to take immediate action against the alleged illegal encroachments and address the civic problems to restore order and improve living conditions in the residential area.
