New Delhi:
The National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI)
Wednesday hailed the Supreme Court's verdict on vendors' right to
carry on their business.
Representing more than 540 street vendors organisations across 23
states of the country, it further demanded that a comprehensive
legislation on the lines of National Rural Employment Guarantee
Act (NREGA) must be enacted to protect and promote livelihood of
more than 10 million vendors of the country.
"It is the constitutional obligation of the union government to
enact a law for the entire mass of street vendors living in
India," said Arbind Singh, national coordinator of NASVI.
Moreover, vendors face problems due to varying interpretations of
the National Policy on Urban Street Vendors and the schemes framed
under it by municipal bodies, police and high courts, Singh said.
"It should not be left to states to enact separate laws," Singh
added.
