President of the vendors' association Kalyanrappa S. Kattalli in a memorandum addressed to Deputy Commissioner Pankajkumar Pandey said they had submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy during his visit to Gulbarga on January 8 and asked for a clear policy on the rehabilitation of vendors who would be rendered unemployed in the event of a ban on the sale of arrack.
