Hawker unions are poised to demand an end to actions against street vendors who received loans under the PM SVANidhi scheme. A meeting of the town vending committee, chaired by Civic Chief IS Chahal, is scheduled for Thursday.
According to the hawker policy guidelines, the BMC has resolved to conduct elections to appoint hawker representatives to the city and zonal town vending committees. In June 2023, the BMC published a draft list of 32,000 hawkers eligible to vote for the town vending committee. This draft list received approximately 103 suggestions and objections, which will be reviewed by the committee.
