Delhi Clears Homeless and Street Vendors Ahead of BRICS Summit Amid Legal Concerns
Ahead of the BRICS Summit in Delhi, authorities have undertaken operations to clear homeless people, beggars, and street vendors from key areas to maintain security and beautify the city. While officials state that homeless individuals are being moved to shelter homes, some reports allege relocations beyond Delhi. Street vendor groups have raised concerns about eviction without proper legal procedures and called for engagement and transparent regulation. Authorities emphasize security needs but face criticism over the impact on vulnerable populations' livelihoods.
