Raid leaves Colaba Market clean, spacious: A PhotoStory

BMC sleuths of 'A' Ward swooped down on 'illegal' hawkers, vegetable vendors and shopkeepers on 7 March 2020 in Colaba Market to impound plastic bags and levy fines. The authorities have been acting on the plastic bag ban for over a week now. The usually bustling market bears an empty look with vendors hurtling off with their carts and wares in by-lanes to evade the BMC. It's rare to see Colaba Market so spacious and clean. Probably the BMC must conduct such raids more frequently and ensure the 'illegal' hawkers

don't return to the zone.
