My India....My pepole....My exploitation

Every one of us has seen the lone Momo-stalls or the make shift mobile juice stalls in most of the markets like Sarojni Nagar, Khan market, Sector 14 in Gurgaon etc. Yesterday out with my friend on a evening stroll at Sector14,Gurgaon I happened to stop by one of these stalls and idle chatting with the stall owner brought out an interesting fact.It was suprising for me to learn that all of these make shift stalls had to pay a daily "standing" fees ranging from Rs100 to Rs500, to the established shop keepers in front of whose shop they had opened their small stalls. Now in cases where the stall is right in front of a shop or shares some space or is attached to their shop, their charging these fees make sense. But even when a public lane seperates their "established" shop and the make shift stall is on open public space, these poor make-shift stall owners have to pay this daily fees to the shopkeper nearest to his/her stall.Are the authorities aware about this fact? No doubt the people responsible for maintaining order around market places would also be getting their cut, but why this exploitation by the shopkeepers? The daily sales of these showrooms with marble tiles, fully air-conditioned and glassy exteriors would no doubt be more than what these petty stall keepers would be able to generate in a year, but still there is no limit to human greed. The issue of drawing customers away hence seeking compensation also does not arise as the "established" shop would be selling cosmetics, clothes etc and the stall across is selling some edible item. Thereis no comparison at all, just an open form of "dada-giri".I would request this issue be given some attention, as these petty mobile stalls would be having few to none people voiceing their concern. If sufficient attention of the authorities could be drawn to the unfortunate plight of these petty stallkeepers, both may be benefited by bringing them too into the legal system of tax/duty collection. Moreover the general public being aware of this "shylock" like extraction of the small petty stallkeeper by the big, established shop owners, maybe more public spirited people would be there asking questions, redressing an insignificant grievence on the whole, however meaning a lot to these poor, ignored petty stall-keepers.
