BMA pushes street vendor regulation to balance pedestrian rights and livelihoods
BMA prioritizes pedestrian safety and convenience, viewing street vending as a temporary concession, not a permanent right.
Strictly prohibits any new street vendors from operating on city pavements; only existing, registered vendors are permitted.
Aims to empower current vendors to transition into formal commercial spaces by providing skill development and support.
Enforces stringent cleanliness, safety, and takeaway-only rules in designated trade zones, requiring standardized stall designs.
Cancels four inactive vending zones, officially restoring public footpaths to ensure clear passage for pedestrians.
