When the reporter asked Chairperson will he act tough on the vendors sitting illegally at the roadside, to which Raut informed that during the initial days of pandemic the Vasco market was shut, and the vendors were sitting on the roadside to earn their daily bread and butter, but now the time has come to stop this practice.
He appealed to the vendors to stop sitting at the roadside illegally and start selling commodities as this will create rush and commotion.
