An investigation conducted by mid-day on Tuesday has uncovered a runaway tactic employed by hawkers operating in Court Lane, also famously known as Borivli Bhaji Market Gully, to evade action by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and local police authorities.

Some of these hawkers, stationed primarily towards the western end of Bhaji Market Gully near the Borivli Metropolitan Magistrate Court, have been observed taking refuge within the court premises whenever anti-encroachment operations are initiated after court hours.
