Stop
destroying our Swadeshi
Retail Sector represented by vendors to
make way for FDI in India’s retail sector.
Let the Walmarts and Ambanis demonstrate their ability
to compete with our street traders who form the most
efficient retail distribution network in our country. |
|
|
|
Make
it mandatory for City Development Plans being prepared
under the JNNURM to integrate concerns of the
National Policy for Street vendors
At present JNNURM is altogether silent on the need to
allocate space for hawking zones. |
|
|
|
Implement
the Action Plan submitted
by MANUSHI and SEWA to execute citywide pilot projects
in select urban centres on the lines of Sewa Nagar Model
of self governance for Hawker Markets. |
|
|
|
The
Action Plan should be implemented by a high
powered bodies standing apart and above the existing
corrupt system of controlling vending licenses. |
|
|
|
Lessons
learnt from implementation of the Action Plan will enable
us to enact a suitable law to translate the National
Policy into legislation. |
