Pushcart vendors from various areas were removed from various areas of city in previous month. Mainly vendors of Freeganj and Chattri Chowk areas were removed by Ujjain Municipal Corporation (UMC) for the encroachment they had created.

Various appeals and written complaints were produced by street vendors to authorities and vendors also pleaded that Indian constitution offers the fundamental right to profession and street vendors and others should be offered the same in proper manner and the local bodies could recover taxes from these sections in lieu of facilities. From then the pushcart and street vendors were protesting pleading to the administration for their lives, as street vending was their only source of income. Recently a Dharna was staged at cabinet minister Paras Jain’s home, in which outcome brought joy to vendors.  As UMC commissioner heaved to the pleas of street vendors and after conversation he agreed to provide vending spots to operators at 4 places in the city.
