A large number of street vendors on Friday staged protests over the ongoing eviction drive to beautify Odisha’s state capital Bhubaneswar ahead of the men’s Hockey World Cup next month. The agitation prompted the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation to temporarily postpone the exercise, with officials assuring the protesters that the next course of action will be decided following a discussion with the vendors’ representative body. “We have decided to stop the eviction drive for some days. It will be carried out after talks with the vendors’ association,” BMC North Zone assistant commissioner Suresh Chandra Lenka told reporters.
