GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has constituted one committee for each of its four zones to conduct an inquiry on illegal street vendors operating in areas under its jurisdiction.
A review meeting to check the progress of the fieldwork carried out by the committees constituted will be convened on November 25. They will have to submit reports within 15 days. These three-member committees, comprising assistant and junior engineers, will carry out a survey of vending zones and vendors/carts operating in these areas, as well as verify whether the vendors are operating at the sites allotted to them.
“Every committee shall submit a detailed report on vending zones and all categories of carts operating at different locations in MCG areas duly marked on layout/plans of the respective sector/area, before December 1, 2020,” read the order issued by the additional commissioner on Saturday.

The move comes after councillors raised the issue of illegal street vendors operating freely within MCG limits. After receiving several complaints in the House meeting on Wednesday, the MCG commissioner had ordered an inquiry to check illegal street vendors.

“Street vendors were allotted spaces for their carts. But now, designated vending zones where 10 carts were allowed to operate have 100 carts. Moreover, some of these illegal street vendors sell food and snacks and dump their waste on the roadside,” said city mayor Madhu Azad.

While a majority of councillors said the street vendors should not be allowed to operate at all, a few councillors said those who were originally designated space in the vending zones should be allowed to operate. “There are poor people who earn their bread and butter through this. So, the needy and genuine street vendors should be allowed to operate,” said councillor of ward number 2, Ravinder Yadav.
