Nagaraj has vowed to call for a statewide bandh if these actions continue, raising concerns about the rights of marginalized communities and the government's accountability to its citizens. As reported by The Hindu, the situation highlights the urgent need for the government to address the plight of street vendors who rely on their businesses for survival.
