...Will it work? "The policy is completely untenable," says Kishwar. "We have worked with the MCD on model hawker bazaars, but these don't work. Street vendors make their livelihood under conditions that cannot be created artificially in a new area." Narain Das, a food vendor in the Nehru Place commercial complex, says most vendors are ruled out from the start because they cannot comply with the court's hygiene requirements.
