Chennai s Marina vendors resume weekly ritual of cleaning up the beach

Express News Service CHENNAI: For the last three weeks, a group of street vendors who do business along the Marina beach have resumed their one-time ritual of picking up waste on a stretch of the shore from near the corporation swimming pool until the labour statue. This had been a weekly ritual where a group of us (vendors) assemble every Monday before 9 am and pick up waste along the beach. We had stopped the practice for around three years. Now, we are taking it up once again, said Sekaran, National Association of Street Vendors of India. On Monday, a group of fifty vendors gathered on the beach to pick up waste. While this initiative by the vendors has remained largely unknown, they have, in the past, been accused of polluting the beach and dirtying it by some sections of the population.
