SHILLONG: The State Cabinet on Tuesday approved an ordinance pertaining to the Meghalaya Street Vendors and Protection of Livelihood and Regulation Bill, 2014.

“We have approved the ordinance. The Bill will be tabled in the upcoming Assembly session,” Urban Affairs Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh said after a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Through this Bill the government will try to safeguard the rights of the hawkers besides defining the role of the government in its approach to the hawkers’ issue. Lyngdoh said that under the proposed Bill the State has to follow the national policy on urban street vendors which will be suitably modified in the context of the current situation in the State as land acquisition continues to be the ‘Achilles’ Heel’ for the State Government.
