- About 5 years ago the vendors were evicted from this market and for a month there was no business but then the vendors started coming back.

- The loss of livelihood is the biggest fear of them in case of eviction.
- They have been vending here for more than 40 years but till date there is no facility of license and identity card which makes their business illegal.
- Vendors bribe traffic policemen on the regular basis.
- Rain is a big problem in running their business and also causes dirtiness in the market.
- The vendors have to pay Challans which may be anything between Rs 100 to Rs 5000.
