SHILLONG: Meghalaya and Greater Shillong Progressive Hawkers and Street Vendors Association will file an appeal against the recent eviction order of the High Court of Meghalaya.
Sources said on Sunday that since a portion of the judgment had mentioned that the Chief Secretary should ensure implementation of the Hawkers’ Act, there is a scope for them to appeal as the Act has not been implemented in the State. The High Court on November 10 had ordered eviction of hawkers from all footpaths in the city.
According to sources, the hawkers may also insist that the State government should follow the guidelines of the central Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014.
The sources added that no eviction can be carried out without providing the hawkers an alternate place for their daily business.
As per the Act, the hawkers will also form part of the Town Vending Committees which, however, is yet to be implemented in the State.
