Iconic Sunday book market that was shut in July reopens at new address
Since then, the 276 vendors were in constant negotiation with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation for a new address. 'We have legitimised them now and given them a safe space. At the same time, we have removed them from the space where they were blocking traffic,' said Varsha Joshi, commissioner, North civic body. The new space has been given to the vendors at a two-year lease and a weekly rent of Rs 170. Earlier, they were paying Rs 15 as rent every week. 'We had no source of income in the past eight weeks. If we do not take up this new space now, how will we earn our livelihood?' said Asarfilal Verma, who has been selling books for 20 years. 'Initially, it might take some time for customers to start coming in due to the change in address. But we are confident that over time we will manage to make best possible use of this space,' added Verma. However, some vendors are not happy with the new place. A short distance away from the Mahila Haat, near the Delhi Gate metro station, about 100 vendors lined up with pamphlets in their hands, sloganeering against the 'forceful' and 'unlawful' relocation of the book market. 'This is completely illegal and against our wishes. Now, we are being asked to sign a lease of two years for this new place. Then what is the point of the street vendors Act?' said Sumit Verma, one of the protesting vendors. As per the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, a town vending committee (TVC) has to be formed for the examination and protection of street markets. Any street market can be removed or relocated only after being surveyed by the TVC. When asked about the issue, Arbind Singh, national coordinator of the National Association of Street Vendors of India, said, 'The Delhi government formed the TVC earlier this year. However, the committee is yet to be notified. Now, the municipal corporation has been arguing that the survey of this market cannot happen because the TVC is not yet notified.' While the vendors are divided on their stand over the relocation, the customers too have a mixed response to it. 'I liked new place more because it is compact and has parking facility,' said Alka, a regular customer at the market. Rudrajit Bose, another regular visitor, said that 'it does not have the heritage, the culture or the feel of the previous market.' 'The new space is being seen as an upgrade, which is a futuristic approach. The new space carries the promise of betterment. It is also seen as a loss of 'a thing of past', said Kanupriya Dhingra, a PhD scholar in School of Oriental and African Studies in London and is doing her thesis on the Sunday book market at Daryaganj.

PKL 2019: Patna Pirates beat Puneri Paltan, continue winning run
Pune's young raider Pankaj Mohite was the first to impress with a three-point Super Raid in the fourth minute.

The Patna raider took control of the proceeding as he targeted the Paltan one by one, ably supported in his defence by rejuvenated Neeraj Kumar. The Pirates' recent run of form (three consecutive wins) have also been largely to the presence of Korean raider Jang Kun Lee who has chipped in with valuable points as a secondary raider when Pardeep is sent to the dugout. They worked in tandem and clinched they first All-Out of the match in the 10th minute to open a five-point gap. Patna continued pressing as Pardeep raced to his Super 10 in the dying minutes of the half.

Meet Benny Gantz, the ex-army chief hoping to be Israel's next premier
hen Netanyahu called for activists to be allowed to film polling stations in Arab districts - alleging fraud without providing any evidence - Gantz charged him with laying the groundwork for rejecting the election results. When Netanyahu announced his intention to annex the heart of the West Bank if re-elected, Gantz dismissed it as a political stunt. Rosh Haayin: As former army chief of staff Benny Gantz campaigns to be Israel's next leader, he is relying less on policy specifics than on the archetypal image of a military man who can rise above the political fray and defend a country that feels perpetually under siege.With piercing blue eyes and the reserved manner of a lifelong soldier, Gantz has vowed to unify the country and restore national institutions after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decade-long rule, which has deepened Israel's religious and political divides and been roiled by corruption allegations.Gantz failed to unseat Netanyahu in April's elections, but will have another shot in Tuesday's unprecedented do-over, which was prompted by Netanyahu's inability to form a government.In contrast to Netanyahu, whose political career spans three decades, the 60-year-old Gantz is a newcomer who only burst onto the scene over the last year. The towering former general heads the Blue and White, a centrist coalition that includes the popular politician Yair Lapid as well as other former senior military officers. Gantz has promised to take a much harsher stance toward Palestinian rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, accusing Netanyahu of appeasing Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules the coastal territory. He has drawn on his time as army chief, when he oversaw the 2014 Gaza war. Before April's elections, his campaign boasted about the number of militants that were killed, saying parts of Gaza were sent back to the "stone age," but he has been more muted this time around.He has also hinted at reviving the peace process with the Palestinians, but he has provided few details, apparently wary of alienating Israel's increasingly nationalist voters. 1704705 1687024 DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
