New Delhi, May 20

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Devender Yadav criticised the Central Government for neglecting street vendors in the Capital. He said no vending zone had been created, leading to harassment by land-owning agencies such as the DDA, MCD, and NDMC.

Addressing a Town Hall meeting at the Constitution Club today, Yadav said the Street Vendors Act-2014, which was passed by the Congress-led UPA government, was aimed at regulating street vendors in public areas and protecting their rights. But, the Modi government has not taken any steps to implement it. He said at least 2.5 per cent of the total population of Delhi would benefit when the Street Vendors Act-2014 is fully implemented.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
