TN Govt Apathetic to Beach Vendors' Loss of Livelihood

Marina beach in Chennai is India's longest and the world's second longest beach.

Marina beach in Chennai is India's longest and the world's second longest beach. Around 1,500 street vendors have been conducting their business from the beach for several decades. However, the back-to-back restrictions introduced by the Tamil Nadu government, curtailing public visits to the beach owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, have left the vendors in distress as their sole source of livelihood has been affected. The absence of proper and just compensation reveals the government's apathetic attitude towards the vendors. NewsClick presents a ground report.
