Draft list of areas to be submitted to High Court
The Kochi Corporation has initiated the process of identifying street vending zones in the city.
The move comes in the wake of the Kerala High Court directing the local body to act against illegal street vending in the city. The court had also asked the corporation to act tough against the illegal street vending, which according to the court, was denying the licensed street vendors their livelihood options.
In the Fort Kochi area, street vending would be permitted near Parade Ground. The other identified areas are the following: The areas close to Abraham Madamakkal road near the petrol pump of the BPCL, Marine Drive, GIDA road near the Goshree bridges, areas near police station at Palluruthy and the bylanes in Panampilly Nagar. More areas will be identified shortly.
