Footpath
Space Criteria: The vending
sites “shall be leaving 5 ft. space on footpath
from the edge of the road as an undisturbed passage
for the free movement of pedestrians.” |
|
|
| |
Attempt
to Control What Vendors Sell: “the
nature of goods/items of daily needs/service will only
be allowed which are as per the needs and requirements
of that particular area.” |
|
|
|
Unreasonable
Controls on Timings: limiting
the vending period will be limited from 8 a.m. to 9
p.m. for those in regular markets and from 7 a.m. to
8 p.m. in residential areas. |
|
|
|
Unreasonable
requirements of distance from places
frequented most, such as railway stations, religious
places, hospitals etc. |
|
|
|
Unreasonable
restrictions on mode of vending and attracting customers. |
|
|
|
The
system of inviting applications using these criteria
will lead to the very same corruption rackets that followed
the supreme Court orders in the Gainda Ram case. |
|
|
| |
All
these controls go against the very idea of
“natural markets.” |
