Though the authorities were relieved there were no untoward incidents,
the hawkers had a litany of complaints.
Their biggest grouse was that though there were 125 hawkers on the
beach, only 80 had been allotted stalls in the food court.
The stalls assigned to them, others complained, were one-fourth the size
of their original stalls. ‘‘There’s no place to stand—even for the
stallowner,’’ said Ramachandra Kadam, former secretary of the Juhu Beach
Khadyog Vikrita Sahakar Society.
Four stalls have to make do with one tap, there’s no canopy to protect
us from rains and there’s no space for workers, the hawkers complained.
‘‘I don’t know what I will do from tomorrow,’’ said Balakrishna Gorle,
who was a worker in a cold drink stall on the beach for 15 years.
Designed by architect P K Das, the Juhu beautification project will see
six new parks including a picnic area, exercise zone, a landscape
garden, food courts and a parking zone.
