A dozen street vendors from the weekly flea market here were detained today after they took out a rally towards the mayor's house against the injustice meted out to them.
SP (City) Aakash Tomar said unruly vendors of the 'Sunday flea market' were trying to block the road at Hapur Chungi area.
The police had to use mild lathicharge to disperse the crowd, he said.
The street vendors of the weekly flea market have alleged that the shop owners of the area have created hindrances in their craft, rendering them jobless.
On the other hand, the shop owners associated with the Navyug Market Vyapar Mandal (NMVM), including residents of nearby colonies of Bihari Nagar and Chandra Puri, have claimed the flea market occupies a large area of the market and hinders the vehicular flow in the area, especially in cases of emergency.
The weekly flea market is considered as one of the biggest markets in NCR, wherein thousands of temporary shops come up every Sunday.
