GMC Plans 120 Vending Zones Amid Eviction Concerns

The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) plans to create 120 vending zones for street vendors, with 83 already approved. This initiative aims to balance urban development and vendors’ livelihoods. However, recent evictions, including over 50 vendors at Dighalipukuri, have left many struggling. Vendors await clarity on rehabilitation and the timeline for implementing these zones. GMC also plans uniform carts for consistency.
