Development 1st Year
It is 6:30 pm in the Evening I was standing at junctionHosur road is saw a vegetable vendor pushing his cart, and a cobbler who is busy with his work who is sitting on the footpath of the road, And the coconut vendor, the flower seller outside places of worship or the tea seller. All this people are busy with their business and the general public mostly depended on this people for their daily needs and convenience this junction is slightly situated at near to small slums. And in the name of development urban areas in India started with traditional street-side markets which all under in threat. The Government wants to shut down street vending and instead support the growth of malls. Focusing on the formal sector in here the informal sector business and people are completely destroyed. With increase in the economy and the city of Bangalore is witnessing an enormous spatial change along with changes in local culture and society. Streets are being widened at the cost of lives and livelihoods, new roads, and while observing all this I was talking to Satish who is a TEA seller he told that the biggest problem faced by street vendors is the police and corporation authorities, who continuously force them to pay bribes. Incapability of vendors to pay monitory bribes results in taking away half their wares. And it’s been almost 2 hours I spent there I saw vendors busy with their business. And slowly the traffic at the junction has been increased with buses and cabs of software companies.
