What you see behind me may look very dirty at the moment. However, this is not how it looks earlier. I'm standing here in Polo where earlier this whole stretch hasn't been cleared like how we are seeing it right now. This particular stretch that I'm standing were filled with vendors. It was known as the Garo Market that every local here in Shillong knew this place as. Now that the municipal board are working to relocate every vendor across the Shillong city, today we're going to bring and interact with vendors and also show you how the city has been transformed. The municipal board is trying to clean up the city to give you a new look. I have with me one of the vendors who have been sitting around the IGP or AG area which is near Rajapavan. He is a local farmer. He has been working in Rajapavan for a long time. He has been working in the toilet and other areas. He has been working in the toilet and other areas.

I cannot do any business. I have to just survive like this only. So what to do? That is why like I need some support from the government also. At least they should think for us. Oh, right. I try, yeah. . . . . . . . . . . . . and I am very happy to be able to speak with you. So, what is your message to the people of the country? I would like to say that we are very happy to be able to speak with you. We are very happy to be able to speak with you. We are very happy to be able to speak with you. We are going to sell our products. We will sell our products to the government. We are going to sell our products to the government. We are going to sell our products to the government. As you can see right behind me, this is one of the vending zones that the government has come up with. This is exactly opposite the SBI main branch here in Shillong. The vendors who were sitting somewhere around Jail Road, Thana Road or near IGP or AG that is near Raj Bhavan, some of them have been assigned the vending zones here or the stalls that have been set up here, they have been allotted. What I've witnessed during my interaction with some of the vendors is that some are happy whereas some are not because of the space. It is very small. Those who run food joints, they find it difficult because they need more space when they cook. Some have also lauded the government. They say that this has made life easy for them. However, there are some who have not received or been assigned any stalls. One has mentioned that he was rejected because he doesn have a voter ID card of Meghalaya And another has mentioned that his application has not gone further or has not heard anything When it comes to the compensation that the government is providing, that is 20,000, the 10,000 which is to be paid in advance, none of them have seen to have any knowledge about it or have received the payment. Similarly, for the remaining payment of Rs. 2,000 every month for five months, which comes to Rs. 10,000, which is a total of Rs. 20,000, nobody has any knowledge of that. A handful of them mentioned that maybe because they have seen in the past, like the relocation which happened last year, that is in Khanda-Elaat. There they have seen that many of the vendors did receive the money, so they're hopeful that they will also receive the same. What is your opinion about the government's policy on the I think we need to request all the stakeholders please cooperate with the government because Again, this project is so important for us. It is not that we're throwing them out, but we are relocating them to a disconnected places. Plus, plus with the, what they call it, that 20,000, we call it relocation allowance. So I would request all the stakeholders to please cooperate. And we would like to see that the public is at ease Day or night time. As shown to you visuals earlier of how many of the vendors here at the jail road are not happy about the move that the government has taken to relocate the vendors from here. Some are mentioning that they haven't been assigned any stalls. That is why they are reluctant to move from here. And they are adamant that they will continue to sit and set up their stalls here because they believe that they are not obstructing the public or the movement of the public. they feel that they are not obstructing. They've also mentioned that they have been sitting here for more than 20 years and that it is their right to livelihood and that they believe that it has taken them years to make a living and people know them from the stalls that they have set up here. What we've also witnessed earlier is how there was
