Implementation of the Town Vending Act has been delayed for over four years, but the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is finally making its best efforts to issue licences to hawkers and mark zones for them. Responding to BMC's request for suggestions and objections on a list of places where the hawking zones would come up, published a couple of months back, 1,474 people have sent letters to the civic body and 1,691 others have emailed them regarding the matter.
According to sources, the list issued by BMC includes areas near schools, hospitals and religious spots. However, the civic body has received much criticism for marking hawking zones near KEM Hospital.
