Close to 150 fruit vendors near the Chaitanyapuri Metro Rail station are facing a harrowing time for the past 10 days as LB Nagar Traffic Police are relentless in their attempts to evict them.
Citing traffic chaos as the reason, the police have been making multiple rounds of the area throughout the day, chasing away the vendors, majority of whom are women.
While the wholesale fruit market, which had been in Kothapet earlier, was shifted to Batasingaram over two years ago, the retailers who had made the area around the footpath their unofficial market place, have nowhere to go.
