Mangaluru street vendors encouraged to operate from new vending zone in Hampankatta

Recognized street vendors in Mangaluru are encouraged to begin operating from the new vending zone in Hampankatta. This area was inaugurated on December 23, and some vendors have already started working there. The Dakshina Kannada Beedibadi Vyaparastara Ksheyobhivrudhi Sangha addressed concerns about rumors claiming the stalls lack basic facilities. They urged vendors to ignore these rumors and utilize their allotted stalls. Vendors were warned against staying away from the stalls, as this could lead to the cancellation of their allotments and identity cards. Any issues should be reported to the sangha or the Mangaluru City Corporation for assistance.
