‘Roadside vendors should not cause inconvenience to public’

Vehicle movement must not be disrupted: civic body

The Thanjavur Corporation has called upon roadside ‘seasonal’ vendors to organise themselves in a proper manner during Deepavali season so that their vocation did not pose a threat to the public and the vehicular traffic movement in the market areas.

Normally, the roadside sale of goods during festive season is streamlined by the civic bodies through the auctioning of ‘ground tax’ collection from vendors by successful bidders or directly collected by the civic body staff.
