He expressed serious concern over the inadequate behaviour of MC Ramban towards the poor vendors in Bus stand Ramban. He strongly urged to the Director ULB to take immediate cognizance of the matter.

In a statement issued here, ” He said that the poor vendors are paying ₹1600 per month to the MC Ramban and instead of creating re-creational or other facilities to these vendors, Municipal Council is misbehaving with them on everyday basis. It is a great injustice to the poor people”.

The drinking water facilities installed during the Congress government have not been repaired and no new facilities have been installed. It is a big shame for MC Ramban despite receiving revenues from the vendors no recreational facilities are arranged so far. “He added”.
