Vendors setting up shops outside designated hawker zones and disrupting traffic will no longer be tolerated. The Jabalpur Municipal Corporation will seize their handcarts and stalls, impose hefty fines and also present their cases before the competent court. In an effort to streamline city's traffic, Municipal Commissioner Preeti Yadav conducted inspection of all hawker zones in the city, on Tuesday. During inspection she issued stern warning that any vendors setting up shops outside the allocated areas within the hawker zones and disrupting traffic will face severe consequences, including the seizure of their carts and stalls, hefty fines and legal action.

 

She also instructed all small and big traders to conduct their business within designated shop boundaries and not to place any items outside. Failure to comply will result in both confiscation and fines. Yadav also directed anti-encroachment officers and team leaders to ensure strict compliance of the directives. She said if shops are found outside hawker zones affecting traffic, the responsible team leader will face strict action.
