He said that the sudden disruption in their selling space has caused them severe financial losses and put their families’ livelihoods at risk. Many of these individuals depend entirely on this business for their survival.

We urge you to facilitate a suitable sitting arrangement for these Indigenous Vegetable Sellers and Street Vendors, allowing them to continue their trade without further distress”, the letter added.
