Apprehending that the Municipal Council could take steps to remove all the thelawalas (street food vendors) from the Sukhadia Circle, Thela Vyavsaya Ekta Union Udaipur submitted a memorandum to Rajni Dangi, MCU Chairperson.

The fear of eviction from their places generated among the vendors after a foundation ceremony by MCU three days ago for building a food court in the small garden near already operating food stalls, also known as Bambaiya Bazaar. All these thela vendors operate in front of the park proposed for Food Court.

In the memorandum, Thela Owners stated that there are 35-40 vendors who have been working there for past many years. They are ready to pay fee if their place is fixed and a license is given to them. Union Secretary Hiralal Salvi requested Dangi to shift the Food Court to some other land which does not hurt vendors’ business interests.

Other than everything else, it is now for us to see that how MCU intends to develop a food court in the ground which has so many green trees in it.
