Ghaziabad imposes registration and monthly fees for vendors

Ghaziabad's civic body has introduced a one-time registration fee of Rs 200 for street vendors under the Street Vendors Act, 2014. Vendors will also pay monthly fees of Rs 600 for stationary stalls and Rs 300 for mobile carts. A town vending committee is conducting a survey to establish designated zones for weekly markets. This follows a police survey that identified 49 weekly markets in the area, which were previously operating on roadsides. The chief secretary's intervention has led to the formation of the town vending committee to manage these markets. The committee has identified 64 locations for weekly markets, aiming to improve organization and compliance.
