emolish the market.

Following the confrontation, the police intervened to restore order, but the angry traders refused to back down and directed their anger at the cops.on condition of anonymity that they got wind of the demolition attempt and swung into action to resist it. He said, “We mobilised ourselves early this morning when we heard that construction workers had come to demolish our market; we stoned and drove them away, because the time given to us to leave this place after we had a meeting with the government has not expired.

“After we tried to defend our market from being demolished, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad also started chasing us away from the market and harassing us; so, we got angry and faced them a little too.”
