About 500 to 600 pupils visited him and the Commissioner assured that the illegal shops will be demolished within 24 hours by the task force police. The same was also propagated in the leading Media, however, nothing happened. The traders again went to the Commissioner who again assured them that the illegal shops will be demolished soon. The traders association then called for a meeting and decided to issue notices to all concerned authorities and intimated them to take necessary actions latest by 17th May, failing which the traders will go on a Rasta Roko on 18th May, 2011, at SKR Market.
When their repeated pleas went unheard, the association of SKR market traders went on a Rasta Roko on 18th May, 2011. They called for all the traders to join them in the protest and every one supported it. The traders joined in at 11am and participated in the Rasta Roko. They have decided to take their fight seriously and protested against the illegal functioning of the shops in the SKR Market area. They have challenged that if the solution is not provided soon, they will further intensify their trust.
