Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri.Tarun Gogoi had directed the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) to adopt the National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, 2009 and passed the notification to the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) for including the Street vendors in Guwahati Master Plan and allocate proper vending sites. Mr.Shitangshu Taye, Program Coordinator of NASVI met the Additional Commissioner,GMC and put forward the proposal for the adoption of the policy prior to the Chief Minister’s commencement for allocation of vending sites. The Delegation from NASVI and Action Aid comprising of Mr.Praffula Barman,Mr.Akhil Barman,Ms.Cecilia Khozol and Mr.Dipti Basumatary also met the Additional Commissioner for sharing their plight and troubles from eviction, lack of proper vending sites and de-regularisation of markets and submitted a proposal on vending sites in Guwahati .
