Courses of Action:
The help of police should be sought to drive them away.
Some space should be provided to them where they can earn their bread without blocking footpaths.
Crowding on footpaths is a great inconvenience for walkers. So, stern action needs to be taken to remove the vendors. But at the same time these people ought to be provided alternative means of livelihood. So, both the courses follow.
