Citizens will have to face hawkers’ menace for a few more months, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has still not got a cut-off date on the basis of which they will start finalising a list of legal hawkers, and the marking of hawking zones for them. The cut-off date was supposed to be set by the state government. However, in the past three months, due to elections and the formation of the new government, the whole plan has taken a back seat. 

After the hawkers get legal status, they will also have to vend their goods in certain prescribed zones. Pic for representation
