The Shillong Times: Shillong: Thursday, August 24, 2017.
The youth
wing of the Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) has sent an
RTI application to the Public Information Officer of the Urban Affairs
Department seeking reply on the mushrooming of hawkers in the city.
KHNAM said
prime junctions like Khyndailad and Bethany Junction Laitumkhrah are occupied
by hordes of hawkers who are ‘illegal immigrants’ and are encroaching on the
already congested sidewalks.
It sought a
query from the PIO as to who is responsible for granting permission to the
hawkers and if the municipal is in control of these hawkers, it has requested
for further details on date of granting permission with tenure, whether police
verification is done, among other things.
Further, the
KHNAM youth wing has asked for details of year-wise revenue generation from
April 1, 2011, to March 31, 2017, in case of Khyndailad (Police Bazaar).
