Vendors' body condemns assault on Bengaluru civic team

A group of officials from the Greater Bengaluru Authority were attacked while trying to remove illegal structures in Shivajinagar.

The Street Vendors’ Joint Action Committee said the attackers were not real vendors but people from a pro-Kannada group.

They asked the government to punish the attackers and look into claims that some officials were helping people who put up illegal structures on sidewalks.

The committee also wants to make sure real vendors aren't bothered because of this incident.
