In Mumbai, there are over 4,500 newspaper vendors while the overall count of newspaper vendors is more than 40,000.

Anoopkumar Prajapati, a newspaper vendor from Mumbai, said, “We have already raised a few concerns about the issues faced by the vendors on a daily basis to the authorities. But, through this event, we all will come together. There have been instances that the civic body treats us like hawkers and fine us. We work from early morning to the evening on the road due to which we face health problems because of air pollution, less income to name a few.”

The association said they have invited CM Devendra Fadnavis, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam among others.
