Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) Evicts Footpath Vendors

The city of Guwahati is making its streets look nicer for Independence Day by removing street vendors from the sidewalks.

The city government says this will make the city look better and help traffic.

But the vendors are upset because they weren't told ahead of time.

They are also angry because the city hasn't given them new places to sell their goods, even though they've been waiting for years.

The government has said it might not be permanent.
