After taking his oath as Mayor of Kolkata on Tuesday, Firhad Judge expressed displeasure for vendors in all cities that did not comply with the rules.
The judge said the effort to persuade snack traders to avoid plastic sheets they used to cover the kiosks and items because they were not just a fire danger but also made for the scenery.

But when one drive down the Brabourne flyover, the path of the shock can be seen squatting on the road with their items spread in front of them.
The driver settled that the vendors narrowed in the road, often leading to growling traffic and pedestrians complaining that they were forced to walk in the middle of the road, risking their lives.
The scene was as bad as garawan.
After a large fire broke out in Garatat three years ago, KMC had imposed a ban using plastic sheets to cover the kiosk.
The KMC boss has ordered the official workshop manager of the Civic Agency to produce a special kiosk for garawan vendors, which mostly will be fireproof and will leave enough space on the sidewalk for walking pedestrians without much hassles.
But three years down, nothing has changed in garawan: plastic sheets back and kiosks occupy the sidewalk.

The incident was still fresh in my mind.
We still live in fear because the part of the reckless vendor hasn’t fallen and takes the steps needed to remove it.
Plastic sheets from the zone Hawking.
In addition, the blue plastic sheet is a real view, “Sharmistha Sen said, a retired bank employee and Golpark residents who had become regular at the Garawan market for the past three decades.
Debraj Ghosh, a Leader of Uniawis Hawker in the belt Biallygunge-garawan admitted that using plastic is not a healthy practice but, he claimed, the vendor was still waiting for the right arrival of the kiosk – from the right size and quality – from KMC.
Once the new kiosk arrives, the use of plastic will end and there will be more space on the sidewalk, he said.
In Hatbagan-Shyambazar belt, Leader of Hawker Union Bissyit Nandi said he expected guidelines from Atin Ghosh, Deputy Mayor and President of the Union of the local snack trader, before asking vendors to remove plastic sheets from the sidewalk.
In the new market or Grand Arcade, the Norma Hawking Flouts has become a ritual.
