Shimla trade union CITU protests municipal corporation's actions against street vendors

Trade union CITU protested at Shimla's Joint Commissioner's office, demanding an immediate halt to the Municipal Corporation's actions against street vendors. The protesters allege the corporation is displacing poor vendors, calling recent evictions illegal and a violation of the Street Vendors Act 2014. They are demanding the corporation cease these actions. CITU claims Town Vending Committees are not meeting, preventing hundreds of vendors from receiving certificates, and that vendors are being removed without alternative locations.
