The street vendors of Bhubaneswar came together
formed a group and elected a leader from among themselves. Then they proceeded
to submit a proposal to the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation. The proposal was
rejected and re-submitted multiple times and they continued to struggle for a
period of more than five years.
In 2007 when Aparajita Sarangi became the
Commissioner of the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation. That’s when things
finally started happening. She gave the Sangh her full support and helped in
any way she could. In was during her administration that 54 vending zones were
approved.
However, in the last few years work has slowed down considerably.
