Have issued notification constituting town vending committees: Delhi govt to SC

A notification, constituting town vending committees (TVCs) for which elections were held on July 15, has been issued, the Delhi government Monday told the Supreme Court.

A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta was informed by the counsel for Delhi government that the notification has been issued in accordance with the Delhi Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Rules, 2017.

The apex court said that since the TVCs have been notified, the committees could now look into all aspects related to street vendors in the national capital.

On September 12, the Delhi government had told the apex court that it would issue within three days the notification regarding constitution of the TVCs.

An advocate, appearing for the street vendors, said the elections for 26 TVCs had taken place on July 15, but only 12 TVC had the required number of members.

The bench then observed, "We have to move forward and not backward. Now the notification has come. Let it be implemented. Let the statute be implemented."
