Speaking on the occasion, MA Halim Shah informed that the Association has been pressing the state government for constructing a separate market for Muslim community, along with establishing yen keithel (murgi bazar), reservation for Muslim street vendors in the new temporary Ima Keithel complex and construction of a Pangal Ima Market within the capital city.
However, due to outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic the demands had to be kept in abeyance for some time, he said aid expressed confidence that the new government will agree to their demands.
PSVA will always work for the welfare of the Muslim street vendors, he emphasised.
