HP to develop new vending zones in rural areas

Shimla, March 23 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh government would introduce a new vending zone policy specifically for Panchayat and Special Area Development Authority (SADA) regions to regulate mushrooming growth of unauthorised vending market in the state.
During the Question Hour in the Assembly on Saturday, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Anirudh Singh responded to queries raised by MLA Vinod Sultanpuri regarding vending zones. He acknowledged that the state currently lacks a structured policy for vending in rural and SADA areas. Singh emphasised that the government is committed to establishing a street vending policy for these areas, granting panchayats authority to regulate vending activities and take action against unauthorized vendors.
"A bill addressing this policy will be presented in the upcoming assembly session. While the Central Government’s Street Vendor Act applies to municipal areas, there is currently no such regulation for rural regions. To bridge this gap, the Panchayati Raj Department has drafted a proposal that will soon be tabled in the Assembly." the Minister said.
