Tension and protests erupted in Guwahati’s Fancy Bazar as street vendors opposed restrictions on businesses operating along footpaths. Vendors said they depend on roadside businesses for survival, despite being educated and struggling to find jobs.
Many questioned where they would go if evicted, while one vendor worried about educating her young daughter. Protesters said the issue affects numerous families and urged authorities to balance urban regulation with vendors’ livelihoods and dignity.
