Dhar emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, stating, “We will do it in such a manner that no one should have any problem”.
Regarding the proposed relocation of hawkers from Laitumkhrah area, Dhar said, “In a short time we will do it… We have already identified the place, but it is not appropriate for me to give you the exact location as we have not yet finalized the locations”.
