Build Markets in areas where the population
cross a benchmark. Shift the Hawkers to the Market place on a first come
basis. Make rates for Hawking on the streets double that you charge for similar
space in the market.
Make it a rule that Hawking is possible only
from Standard Mobile Carts. No one is permitted to lay their wares on the road
or build stalls. Also hawking is permitted only on one side of the road. The
other path is free for pedestrians. Those wanting to buy goods will need to
walk the vending stretch. This single measure will ensure quick flow of those
who do not wish to get caught in the melee'. Provision should also be made to
ensure the allotted member alone stands at the stall at the appointed hour for dispensing
of goods. His details and photograph should be prominently displayed. No person
other than the allotted should be permitted to sell the wares. This will
prevent stall capturing. In allotting stalls priority should be given to a
single member in a family.
