- 6 years ago the street vendors from this place were shifted near Khatipura Road Pulia and were provided all the basic facilities too but The market is situated at the prime location in the Jhotwara area they came back only in few months as the business wasn’t viable.
- Most of the vendors agree to relocate unanimously. They even agree to pay some affordable amount for permanent space. Their only concern is viability of business. They have unity and they do not face any problem for government authorities.

- The street vendors pay Rs 100/- a month to JMC and get receipt.
- Few kiosks were made by government and given to poor handicapped people who they later sold or rented to other vendors.
