Several migrants are also involved in illegal business activities,” he alleged. Responding to the issue, Chairperson Damodar Shirodkar also admitted that there are illegal business activities, mostly along the roadside and footpaths.
“The issue raised by the citizens is a genuine one and hence the civic body will initiate action at the earliest,” he assured.
