Bill to protect Hawkers set to be passed soon: Maken.. pg 6, Mumbai Mirror, 27th Feb 2013.....
While the idea of ensuring livelihood of the Hawkers is good, the natural way is to have Market places constructed once a population threshold is crossed. This market place will accommodate all these street vendors, for daily vegetables, and sundry articles. Spots in the market place can be auctioned every year or rotated, so that all get equal opportunity with time.
Footpaths should be clear of all obstacles to ensure rights of the pedestrian. Roads should be clear of all obstacles to ensure right of traffic. This is the better way to resolve the issue.
Enacting a Law to protect Hawkers is a bad Law, as it tends to encourage street grabbing, block free flow of traffic, shadow legitimate shops which get blocked by the street vendors.
Secondly I did mention earlier, for any law to be enacted, there should be a mention of it in the party manifesto. It is based on the Manifesto that we elect a party or its candidate. Once elected, they cannot throw caution to the winds and do as they please.
