In the photos and in the story obtained by Iran International, a number of young people can be seen in the center of Tehran, who scattered the goods on the sides of the streets and sidewalks. Hawkers say that the pressure of livelihood problems and the lack of suitable job opportunities led them to this way of earning.
While hawkers on social media say they are forced to meet their living expenses, reports published in recent weeks show municipal officers dealing with hawkers in various cities, including Tehran and Shiraz.
In this context, the "Tasnim 10 of Aban" news agency reported that the plan to gather booksellers on Al-Habal Street in Tehran began on October 21. According to this report, the previous plan to identify, issue tickets and move these hawkers to a specific location in Al-Ahna Square did not reach the final implementation stage.
Earlier, Ahmed Moezami Gudarzi, Technical Vice President and Vice President of the Sharban Company and the Harimban Company in the Municipality of Tehran, announced on November 1 the implementation of the program to collect working children and deal with flower sellers in the area of Beshet Zahra and Hashemi Road.
