While various internet service providers blocked over 850 pornographic sites, following the Centre’s diktat yesterday, business went on as usual for roadside hawkers selling pornographic material.

This mid-day correspondent visited several hawkers at various locations across South Mumbai, including Fort, CST, Lamington Road and Grant Road station and easily purchased VCDs and DVDs for anywhere from Rs 50 to Rs 300. Some of these hawkers operated freely despite police presence in their vicinity.
