Navi Mumbai: Stalls for Differently-Abled Remain Abandoned
The government gave people with disabilities stalls to start businesses, but many are not working out.
These stalls are in bad places, like near garbage or hard to reach.
Because of this, many stalls are empty.
People who were given the stalls cannot use them, and are asking to be moved.
Local officials said they would fix the problem.
Navi Mumbai distributed 330 stalls to the differently-abled in 2023.
Many stalls are abandoned due to poor planning and unsuitable locations.
Stalls are in isolated areas or near garbage dumps, hindering business.
Encroachments and lack of amenities worsen the situation.
Activists are demanding the relocation of the stalls to better areas.
