Delhi government to identify all street vendors, create database

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government will soon undertake a drive to identify all street vendors across the city and create a database.

The survey will be carried out by recently formed town vending committees (TVCs), which were elected by street vendors and hawkers themselves. TVCs, which will work for the rights of the vendors and create permanent vending zones, also have representatives of the NGOs working for street vendors, community-based organisations and resident welfare associations nominated by the government.

TVCs have been formed under Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014, which seeks to provide social security and livelihood rights to street vendors.

Though Delhi is estimated to have close to 4.5 lakh street vendors, only 1.3 lakh had registered themselves with the erstwhile MCD and NDMC in 2007. The civic agencies, however, found only 12,000 of them genuine and allowed them to vote for TVCs. Accprding to the organisations working for street vendors, TVCs have a massive task of adding vendors so that new programmes and policies could be made to provide them security and livelihood.
