Encroachment on footpaths has once again returned to Kolkata’s Burrabazar market, forcing pedestrians to walk amid heavy traffic and raising serious safety concerns. Despite hawkers being removed during drives earlier last year, the situation has reverted to its earlier state in one of the city’s most crowded commercial zones.
