With just a day to go for traditional fair, old stall owners say announcement came too late
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount, around which stalls have sprung up, on September 1. Pic/Ashish Raje; Stall owners protest against the tendering system introduced last year on August 11
While just one day remains for the Bandra fair, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount’s authorities on Thursday invited online applications for a second round of stall allotments. Long-time stallholders refrained from filling out forms during the first round in a show of unity.
The protesters alleged that the rent imposed by the church is too high and respondents are reluctant to pay it even after being allotted stalls.
