AGARTALA, October 4 (TIWN): Indian National Trinamool Trade Union Congress on Sunday holds a rally demanding to set off Street Vendor Act 2014 in the state at Agartala.

Talking to TIWN correspondent on Wednesday INTTUC state in-charge Biplab Kar said that though the Supreme Court has ordered to initiate the Street Vendor Act 2014 in all the state, State Government yet commence the Act in Tripura.

Rather without any prior notice and without providing any proper place to hawkers to continue their business, the authority started to evict the hawkers from their place, said INTTUC state in-charge.

INTTUC state in-charge Biplab Kar said that getting no other option they had to knock the door of Tripura High Court for the implementation of the Street Vendor Act 2014 in the State and on October 5 the case will be placed before the Tripura High Court.

A delegation of Indian National Trinamool Trade Union Congress (INTTUC) met Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) Dr. Prafullajit Sinha four times seeking immediate rehabilitation of evicted roadside hawkers and to initiate the Street Vendor Act 2014 but till day no initiatives has been taken.

Besides, they also urged the Governor but no fruitful result has been declared yet, said Biplab Kar.

According to the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, the Town Vending Committee within such period and in such manner as may be specified in the scheme, conduct a survey of all existing street vendors, within the area under its jurisdiction, and subsequent survey shall be carried out at least once in every five years.
