The government is now recognising hawkers/street vendors as a general benefit and as a right of people to earn their livelihood.

The government is trying to do the following:

• Modify the law that banned street vendors, such that they have a place to work without hampering either traffic or people.
• Make hawking zones for towns and cities.
• Allow mobile vendors to move around freely.
• It also has said that the hawkers need to be part of committees that are set up to take these and other decisions relating to them.
