Delhi Authorities Restrict Street Vendors and Homeless Ahead of BRICS Summit
Ahead of the BRICS Summit in Delhi, authorities have asked street vendors to stop operations in several areas, citing security and traffic arrangements. The National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) expressed concern over the impact on vendors' livelihoods and called for alternative solutions. Concurrently, a joint operation by multiple agencies is removing homeless people, beggars, and street vendors from key locations to maintain security and clear VIP routes. While officials say homeless individuals are relocated to shelter homes, some reports suggest relocations beyond city limits.
