Hawkers of Gulistan’s Noor Hossain Chatter were seen protesting during the eviction drive as they are not provided any designated place to shift their businesses, they said.
The DSCC mayor earlier said hawkers will be rehabilitated after laying the foundation stone of the 10-storey Bangabandhu Avenue Biponi Bitan.
The construction work of the 10-storey market will be completed within two years and the hawkers will be able to start their businesses at the market, he said.
