Ensure security to families of migrant street vendors during Dasara, NGO tells Karnataka government
An NGO has appealed to Karnataka authorities to enhance safety measures for migrant street‑vendor families during the Dasara festivities. The group referenced the 2025 incident in which a nine‑year‑old girl, helping her family sell balloons near the exhibition, was sexually assaulted and killed. The NGO urges stronger protection and rapid response mechanisms for vulnerable vendors.
