Though the detailed project report (DPR) for setting up street vending zones in the city was prepared three years ago, the Kalaburagi City Corporation has failed to implement the street vending policy that can help minimise traffic snarls on arterial stretches.
As per the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014, local bodies should identify vending zones to facilitate vendors carry out their business in places allotted to them, after registering their names and issuing identity cards.
The city corporation prepared the DPR in 2020 and identified locations for establishing five vending zones to take up construction of 550 individual units in various junctions of the city.
