The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seems to have forgotten a Bombay High Court ruling which states that an area of 100 metres from railway stations must be considered a no-hawking zone. Hawkers have returned to Borivli station and L T Road, which come under the R Central ward, after a heavy crackdown was carried out against vendors a few days ago. While the BMC claims that action is being taken against the hawkers regularly, photographic evidence and comments from the ward officer suggest that the offenders returned a few hours after the crackdown.
