The demolition is part of anti-encroachment drive on Fatehabad road in Agra.
A part of cafe in Agra, run by acid attack survivors, was on Wednesday run over by the municipality as it plans to expand the road. This has affected the business of the cafe; which is a small rented place on the roadside. The survivors who are employed at the cafe, are requesting the government to help them relocate so that they can run their houses.
"The livelihood of 10 survivors depends on Sheroes Hangout Cafe. It takes care of their medical expenses and surgeries and also helps run our homes," said Rupa, the manager of the cafe.
The manager of the Sheroes Hangout Cafe said 10 acid attack survivors work there.
"We are facing great difficulty as the space we have is limited and the guests feel uncomfortable in such a small space. There's also no space to park the cars now," she added.
Another employee of the cafe, Madhu, said, "We have a home that goes by the name Sheroes Home, which provides shelter to acid attack victims. The expenses for the same are also dependent on this cafe."
