He urged the hawkers not to use these roads. “We will designate some yellow zones where you can sit for a certain period of time and vacate them later for proper traffic management. No one will evict you.
He said that the entire system would be gradually introduced in consultation with the vendors. “We need to work together to build a running and beautiful Dhaka.”
Taposh also asked the hawkers not to consider the Municipal Corporation as their enemy. “You are the stakeholder of the Municipal Corporation, which works for you. If you follow the guidelines and directions of the municipal corporation, you will be benefitted.”
Workers’ Party president and local MP Rashid Khan Menon urged the mayor to take steps to create guidelines for street vendors until a law is passed on the matter. “It will protect them from goons and the police.”
