Display Names, Phone Numbers: Vendors At Delhi's Najafgarh Vegetable Market Told
NDTV
Local BJP Councillor Amit Kharkhari said the move was not meant to discriminate against anyone or any particular community but for security.
Street vendors at a vegetable market in Delhi's Najafgarh will have to display their names on carts in a move the local councillor and the market association claimed was aimed at preventing "illegal" Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants from selling produce there.
The market association has also directed the vendors to display their phone numbers on nameplates on the carts, which will have a unique "thela number" issued by it.
The decision to implement this plan was made in a meeting of the market association with the local councillor earlier this month, following complaints of unidentified sellers, suspected to be illegal migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar, selling produce.
