Travel tight with wares of vendors

A special compartment should be allotted for vendors in local trains, who are a menace on the Tarakeswar-Howrah route. They block the narrow passage between the rows of seats with huge baskets of vegetables and fruits, scarcely leaving any space for passengers to move.
