Agartala: Nov 22: The BJP-run Agartala Municipal Corporation has once again disappointed the businessmen two months before the elections by not providing any alternative arrangements for doing business. It is important to keep the city free of traffic jams, it is natural. But the incident like kicking small businessmen in the stomach without making any provision for small businessmen sitting on the side of the road may be very tragic.
However, the BJP has been fulfilling its promise to keep the city free of traffic jams since its inception. Municipal Corporation has continued the campaign. But the biggest thing is that people are wandering in the city due to lack of work. And right now, if the shops are demolished without any provision for the small traders, then the sky will fall on their heads. The mayor was on a campaign from Battala to Dashmighat and Battala market since Friday morning. The Mayor was accompanied by Agartala Municipal Corporation Commissioner Shailesh Kumar Yadav and other administrative officials.
Later, the mayor told reporters that the promise made before the formation of Municipal Corporation would be to make Agartala a drug-free, traffic-free and clean city. Shops cannot be built illegally on either side of the city. Also, action will be taken against illegal parking. Accordingly, the corporation authorities conducted a series of operations. Other markets, especially the Battala market, are being vandalized by liquor counters. He said that the campaign will continue.
On this day, in the operation, the whole company’s truck force broke the shops of the businessmen along with the bike scooters on the side of the road. Besides, the liquor counter inside the Battala market was broken. Many have applauded the corporation. However, the drive to keep the city free from traffic jams is natural, but for small businessmen, it is important to think of the corporation and the government. The corporate authorities and the government can arrange for their rehabilitation in the vacant spaces along with the market stalls developed in different areas of the city. But they do not give any importance to that. By forcefully raiding in this way is complicating it in a way. So giving rice does not mean killing the goat.
