The Shimla Municipal Corporation (MC) today removed 13 unauthorised street vendors from various markets across the town as part of an enforcement drive. The action targeted eight vendors from Lower Bazaar, one from near the Lift, and four from the Ridge.

The operation was led by Jyoti Prakash, Tehbazaari Inspector, who conducted inspections across multiple markets to identify and remove unauthorised vendors. The team also confiscated the goods of the vendors found operating without permission.

Prakash stated that most of the unauthorised vendors hailed from states such as Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. He further highlighted that Lower Bazaar had recently been declared a no-vending zone, yet vendors continued to sell goods in the area, prompting today’s action.

The drive aims to ensure compliance with municipal regulations and maintain order in the town’s markets.

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).
