NOWHERE TO GO: Paresh Saha, one of the thousands of hawkers who ply their trade on local trains, at Sealdah station. Saha - who sells small things for minuscule amounts - feels dejected following the Calcutta High Court order evicting "illegal" hawkers as well as beggars from the two railway stations of Howrah and Sealdah immediately.
