Meerut | Wednesday | 19th April, 2017

Summary:

Other locations to accommodate vendors from 14 flea markets still need to be decided. This led to another HC order on September 23, 2016 to deduct salaries of the DM, municipal commissioner and other top officials. Two students were ousted from their schools because their parents were unable to pay the school fee.”The decision to not allow flea markets was taken after the HC order on a petition filed by RTI activist Lokesh Khurana in November 2014. Some of them have been forced to drive rickshaws while others keep shifting from one place to the other to earn a little. But no other location has been provided to them till now..
