With the cynosure of all eyes on them these days, a group of hawkers have pledged to maintain decorum and keep their space clean and clutter-free provided they are given permit to hawk on footpaths and along the roadside.

Of the 7,000 hawkers that peddle their wares outside Dadar railway station on the western side, 2,000 vendors assert that if the BMC grants them permission, they will abide by the rules.
