Delhi Holds Town Vending Committee Elections Amid Vendor Allegations of Irregularities
Elections for 23 Town Vending Committees (TVCs) were held across Delhi's 12 zones with about 41% voter turnout among nearly 90,000 registered street vendors. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) reported smooth polling without law-and-order issues, while the National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) alleged irregularities in zones like Civil Lines and Green Park, including locked polling rooms and manipulated candidate lists. NASVI has called for independent inquiries into these complaints. Vote counting is scheduled for August 4.
