Hey there, folks! Looks like there was a happening conference in Pune on March 21, 2025, all about street vendors and their rights. The event was a collaboration between the National Association of Street Vendors of India, Pathari Vyavsayik Sanstha Pune Ltd., Tapri Pathari Hatgadi Panchayat, and the Street Vendors’ Unity Committee. Held at the Pune Shramik Patrakar Sangh Conference Hall, the conference aimed to shed light on the effective implementation of the Street Vendors Act, 2014.
Leading the charge at the conference was Sangeeta Singh, the Street Food Program Head of the National Association of Street Vendors of India. The event was well-organized by key figures like Gurunath Sawant, Mohan Chinchkar, Deepak Mohite, and Sunil Bhadekar. Deepak Mohite kicked things off with a warm welcome to all attendees, and new members of the Town Vending Committee were also honored during the event.
The conference saw a turnout of street vendors, organization representatives, and TVC members from Pune Municipal Corporation, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, and Lonavala Municipal Council areas. Among the attendees were Sagar Dahibhate, Kalokhe, Muskan Shaikh, Asha Kamble, and Mandar Dhumal.
Some key demands raised at the conference included the need for regular meetings of the Street Vendors’ Committee, strict implementation of the Street Vendors Act, 2014, creation of new vending zones to accommodate urban expansion, and more. Sangeeta Singh stressed the importance of unity among street vendors, emphasizing that their rights must be protected by the authorities.
Gurunath Sawant chimed in on the legal aspects, highlighting the need for discussions on street vendors’ rights at the legislative level. He emphasized that TVC members are elected representatives who deserve recognition from the authorities.
It’s clear that the street vendors in Pune are united in their fight for justice and fair treatment. Let’s hope that their demands are heard and acted upon by the relevant authorities. Stay tuned for more updates on this important issue!
