Review of the National Policy for Urban Street Vendors
This commentary analyses the reasons for the failure of the policy is making any positive changes in the existence of the street vendors, who have defenite place in the urban economy. They still face the harassment by authorities and deprivation of their findamental rights. To the author, the policy failed in in more than one count, lack of a time frame to translate the policy into reality being the foremost. Want of realistic approach, unenthusiastic apporoach of the governments bolstered by the approach of policy to palm off most of the governmnet's duties to NGO's, non action on the pormised changes in IPC, which enable the police to extort the hawkers figure as other reasons for failure. The existing urban local laws are not in tune with the policy and need amendments to be in harmony with the policy.
