In a major relief to street vendors of Mysuru, the State Government has asked the district administration to put on hold the eviction drive against street vendors till a Grievance Redressal Committee is constituted to hear their woes.
The vendors in the city were at the receiving end of an eviction by the civic and police authorities as part of a ‘footpath encroachment clearance drive’.
N. Manjushree, Mission Director, National Livelihood Mission, Bengaluru, in a letter dated February 8, 2022, asked the Deputy Commissioner to ensure that street vendors are not evicted from their places of vending till the Grievance Redressal Committee is constituted.
