A report in this paper on Tuesday detailed how a meeting between shop owners in Colaba, locals and elected representatives concentrated on two aspects u2014 beautification of the Colaba area and the bigger question u2014 hawkers.
While it is good that the big questions regarding Colaba are finally being answered, one can only rue the fact that the problem was allowed to fester for so many years, with the Causeway strip becoming a tinderbox, since it was overrun by hawkers.
Tax- paying citizens continue to stew and suffer.
Clean- up drives are initiated but there is a boomerang effect when the illegal sellers return.
Work together to find a solution to these problems. It is a huge powder- keg for the city where frustrations run high and only one spark of rage will set things aflame.
We need an end and more importantly, there should not be a repeat of this problem in areas that get cleaned up.
Removal of illegal hawkers must be definitive
