To maintain order and ensure compliance with city regulations, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh (MCC) on Sunday intensified its vigilance and enforcement efforts to curb unauthorized vending activities. This initiative aimed at providing citizens and visitors with a safe, organized environment.
An MCC official, in a statement, said that the vendors are permitted to operate from 6 am to 10 pm. However, during recent enforcement drives, the team observed that some vendors were operating beyond these hours. In response, a joint operation by the MCC enforcement team and Chandigarh Police was conducted on Sunday in Sector 22, successfully removing vendors operating outside the authorized hours.
Municipal Commissioner Amit Kumar emphasized that these joint drives will continue across the city to ensure compliance with guidelines and prevent encroachments. “We are committed to maintain public safety and convenience, and we urge all vendors to comply with legal regulations,” he stated.
The Municipal Corporation warns that strict action will be taken against violators to uphold the integrity of public spaces. In addition to removing vendors, the enforcement team also seized materials left at vending sites after hours. Temporary coverings, such as tarpaulins, have been removed to further ensure compliance, said the official.
