“Hawkers will not be allowed to sell goods on the streets and footpaths in Gulistan until 6:30pm on the weekdays,” announced Dhaka (South) Mayor Sayeed Khokon on Wednesday. “The decision will come into effect from Sunday,” he added. The hawkers however, would be allowed to run their business anytime during Fridays and Saturdays, Mayor Sayeed said in his announcement. On Saturday, CPB President Mujahidul Islam Selim came down hard on the Dhaka South mayor for the decision without arranging any alternative. Selim declared that the mayor’s decision will not be accepted and called upon him to sit and discuss possible solutions.
