The review meting started with welcome address to Municipal Councillors
and representatives of various Market Associations, Business Associations and
Resident Welfare Associations by worthy Mayor.
Worthy Mayor requ_ested the present officials, representatives of
associations and councillors to introduce first in brief and also share the issues
being faced in light of Street Vendors Act, 2014 and Chandigarh Street Vending
Plan.
Sh. Anil Vohra President, Chandigarh Vyapar Mandal and President
Market Welfare Association Sector-44.D. Chandigarh shared in the meeting that
no street vendors shall be allowed to sit in any market as the traders have
invested huge sum of money into their business and are paying taxes to
government. The present plan under the Street Vendors Act, 2014 will ruin their
businesses as street vendor.s are causing nuisance in the market. He also said
that the association is not against any street vendors, as they also have to earn
their livelihood to support their families but they should be relocated away from
markets.
He has praised the efforts of Municipal Corporation Chandigarh in
declaring Sector 17 as No Vending Zone. He also added that Sector 19 and 22
should also be made No vending Zone on similar lines to protect the interest of
businessmen.
He pointed on the proposal submitted by consulting agency HNYKS that
how the plan has been prepared without inviting consultation with key
stakeholders.
He said that since, sectors 1 to 6 are sparsely populated and there is no
market planned and similar is the . case with the sector from 49 onwards too.

vendors for more than 1. 5 years. He shared that Sector 17 has been declared as

Street Vendors are not following FSSAI norms and they are selling food
products in open in unhygienic conditions.
Sh. Kamaljit Singh Panchhi shared that if Sector 17 19 and 22 were '
declared as No Vending Zone earlier then how 19 and 22 be decided as vending
zone with maximum capacity of 150 street vendors. He suggested that all the
APNI MANDI should be made vending zone with mandi day as a weekly holiday
for street vendors in line with Sector 15 Chandigarh plan by office of Chief
Architect.
Sh. Charanjiv Singh, Municipal Councillors said that the vendors who are
rich and possessing cars for vending should be barred from street vendor's
license. ·He said law and order situation of key markets i.e. sector 17, 19 and 22

zone in conflict. He said, no one is happy with MCC, be it is street vendor

market as they fetch women and children to markets.

background and they are not by their choice on the roads. If we can promote

and regulation of street vending. Discrimiation shall not be made on the basis of
any affiliation to any state.

I I
RWAs and vendors for finalization of vending plan in sector 22 and 19, where
conflict has emerged.
Sh. Kapil Setia, Chief Architect shared that department of urban planning
has planned sites and zones in consultation with TVC only and the same plan
was discussed in House too, which resolved to discuss before councillors in a
separate meeting under the chairpersonship of Mayor. Later the same plan was
approved by the Administrator Chandigarh.
He said, if there is problem in certain zones then the suggestion given by
Additional Commissioner=II to conduct consultation seems to be valid to avoid
confrontations with key sta~eholders. He said, it should happen in only those
areas where there is possibility to have conflict.
In the last, worthy Mayor gave a conclusion to have joint consultation with
Area Councillor, Market Association, RWA and street vendors in finalizing a
street vendor zone. He said that the act should be implemented in letter and spirit
towards welfare of informal sector.
