The Bhubaneswar Utha Dokani Byabasayee Sangha on Saturday alleged that a total of 11, 000 street vendors have not been enlisted to get corona support of Rs 3,000 from the Government.
"In 2015, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation had conducted a survey and identified a total of 22,800 street vendors. Now, the process has begun to disburse the corona aid of Rs 3,000 to 11,800 street vendors only. It is a sheer betrayal to the rest 11,000 identified street vendors," alleged Sangha president Sura Jena.
Informing that these vendors had also been deprived of Cyclone Fani assistance, Jena urged the Government and the BMC to provide corona aid to them at the earliest.
