After the MC lifted their carts, a group of street vendors staged a protest on Overlock Road near Partap Chowk here on Monday.

Hanuman Maurya, a street vendor alleged, “A man, Harjeet Singh, who claimed to be associated with the Aam Aadmi Party, has been filing complaints to the civic body against us. Following his complaints, the MC removed our carts today. Thus, we staged the protest. Moreover, the MC has not even set up vending zones for us as per the rules.”

On the other hand, Harjeet Singh said he has not filed any complaint against the street vendors. He said the Opposition parties are behind the conspiracy.

Zonal Commissioner, MC, Neeraj Jain said the action was taken against the encroachments. He, however, said he has no information regarding the complainant.
