Chandigarh, August 20:-Smt. Harpreet Kaur Babla, Mayor, Chandigarh, the Appellate Authority (Street Vendors) today heard 19 cases concerning stays granted by the GRDRC on various grounds, including matters relating to non-surveyed vendors and cases where vending sites had already been allotted through draw of lots. The hearing commenced at 3:00 PM in the Conference Hall, Municipal Corporation Office.
After an in-depth examination of the records, the Mayor observed that a number of stays appeared unwarranted, particularly where alternate vending sites had been duly allotted. Emphasising the need to uphold the city’s planned character and ensure orderly vending in the public interest, the Mayor directed that matters be taken up on priority for early disposal. Accordingly, the next date of hearing has been fixed for 29.08.2025.
