Claiming that no officer from the market administration has visited them till now, they said: "If our demands are not met, then we will continue this hunger strike."
"Our shops were built 30-35 years ago. They are on the verge of collapse. We have built tin-roofed shops. Now we are told to remove them. From where we will work," they asked.
