It's the hawkers who vote for HER and SHE has decided to reward them by providing them the entire footpaths all over Kolkata and the bigger towns in West Bengal for free. The local leaders of course extort a lot of money from those hawkers for the unofficial handover of government land. However, we keep funding her with road tax, etc.
Ever since February - March 2022, it's been noticed that 4' - 5' of the main throughfare are being cordined off with guardrails and nylon ropes making the already narrow roads even more narrower.
It's only a matter of time before a new group of hawkers will spill over on the newly earmarked footpaths for pedestrians.
