Crackdown on illegal vendors: 60 CCTV cams to keep watch in prime markets
1 2 Chandigarh: Cracking down on illegal vendors and encroachments on municipal land in the prime markets of the city, the municipal corporation is set to install 60 CCTV cameras in all three prominent markets of the city: Sector 22, Sector 15, and Sector 19. This initiative aims to maintain constant surveillance in these markets. Several illegal vendors operate in these three markets due to their commercial value and high footfall. The authority has identified locations for the cameras and prepared a financial estimate of around Rs 1.23 crore. The MC's enforcement wing has issued over 15,000 challans and recovered Rs 1.61 crore in fines within just six months, from Jan to June this year. The number of challans and the recovery of fines is significant this time, as last year, from Jan 1 to Dec 31, the MC issued a total of 19,473 challans and collected a little over Rs 2 crore in fines. Regular anti-encroachment drives are being held almost every day, with special drives also being carried out in Sector 22, Sector 15, and Sector 19 against illegal vendors and encroachments. Municipal commissioner Amit Kumar is monitoring every drive, while joint municipal commissioner Sumit Sihag leads the drives in the market. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Sihag even remained present in the markets during the drives to supervise the functioning of the enforcement inspectors and related staff. The MC has also issued orders to give a weekly off to all enforcement employees, including inspectors, on Monday instead of Sunday. "Since weekends, especially Saturday and Sunday, are the main days for the markets when the maximum problem of illegal vending arises, the day off has been changed. Moreover, the duty timings have also been changed from 12 pm to 8 pm to 2 pm to 10 pm, so that maximum vigilance can be maintained during this major footfall period," a senior official told TOI. Also, just a couple of days ago, the MC also started the Street Vendor Mobile App and Vendor Cell Web Portal to promote ease of doing business for the registered street vendors. This digital platform is a step towards empowering street vendors by ensuring convenience, transparency, and timely access to essential services. It aims to streamline vendor-related operations and improve service delivery. INTENSIFYING THE CRACKDOWN MC to install 60 CCTV cameras in Sector 15, 22, and 19 markets Around 15,000 challans issued in six months from January to June 2025 Approximately 1.61 crore revenue collected from January to June 2025 Total vending zones: 48 Total vendors: 10,936 Licence cancelled: 6,902 Active vendors: 4,037 A Decade of Regulation and Resistance In Chandigarh, a comprehensive survey of street vendors was conducted in 2016, resulting in the registration of 10,903 vendors. Based on the findings, the MC allotted designated vending sites to these registered vendors. However, despite the allotment, many vendors did not relocate to the permitted sites. The vending sites were allotted for a period of five years, with vendors required to pay a monthly licence fee. The regulation of street vending in the city is governed by a structured policy framework, which includes the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, followed by the Union Territory of Chandigarh Street Vendors Rules, 2015, along with subsequent amendments and notifications. These regulations also cover the functioning of the Town Vending Committee (TVC), which plays a key role in overseeing the implementation of street vending norms and ensuring compliance with the legal framework.

‘Influencer' barbs in village made Radhika delete Instagram account, poisoned her father's mind?
Gurgaon: The key to the souring of ties between tennis player Radhika Yadav and her father, Deepak, could lie in her deleted Instagram account. According to the police investigation so far, Radhika (25) was looking for a career beyond competitive tennis and saw potential in professional coaching after multiple injuries set her back. She publicised snapshots from her sessions through Reels. These short videos reached tennis enthusiasts but also raised eyebrows at Wazirabad village in the city, which the family belonged to, sources said. Comments from conservative relatives and acquaintances at the village about her social media activity seem to have poisoned Deepak's mind about Radhika, who he shot dead at their house in Sector 57 last Thursday. "She was trying her hand as a video creator. We are yet to ascertain if Radhika deleted her account due to objections raised by villagers or by pressure from her father after frequent arguments at home. We will soon retrieve her account for the probe," a police officer said. Having featured in a one-off music video in 2024, Radhika had already explored this interest area, though not as an alternative career.

Among comments about Radhika allegedly aimed at Deepak was her uploading social media videos with male players and students, police have learnt after questioning Deepak and others over two days since the murder took place. That is why, according to the investigation, Deepak insisted on Radhika closing the academy she ran near their house and stopping coaching altogether. He'd rather she focused on playing tennis. But Radhika, limited by injury and perhaps having realised her peak years were behind her, looked at coaching as a continuum, not a digression. This became a major point of difference between the two, simmering over months, the sources said. "His relatives and acquaintances in the village told Deepal that when he himself earns around Rs 3 lakh per month, why did he wish to earn even more through his daughter's social media activities? He saw these as questions raised on her character," a police officer said. Killer dad in judicial custody Deepak was, meanwhile, produced at the local court on Saturday after his one-day police remand ended and sent to 14-day judicial custody. The court directed police to produce him via video conferencing at the next hearing. Police did not seek further remand of Deepak. Police said they had found no evidence of Radhika having an affair and Deepak being incensed because of it. ACP Yashwant told TOI, "There is no evidence to establish that she had an affair or wanted to marry someone from another caste. Her father had temperamental issues and thus, despite spending crores on her career, he shot her dead after she refused to stop coaching." What happened on murder day? Police said Deepak was in his room, brooding, while Radhika was in the kitchen. He suddenly took out his gun, walked up to her and shot her from behind, four times, according to the autopsy report. The rest of the family living in the three-storey house initially thought a cooker had exploded. The murder was first discovered by Deepak's brother Kuldeep, who lives on the ground floor. The family is yet to inform Radhika's bedridden grandfather, who is partially paralysed and lives on the second floor of the house with his wife and a caretaker. 'Tennis not the reason' Ankit Patel, one of Radhika's coaches who knew her for 11 years, said he had not known of any animosity between her and her father. "She was a hardworking girl. She played in my academy for a brief period of three to four months during the Covid outbreak. Her father always accompanied her to the academy. He would be there, egging her on. He was very involved. Everything seemed very normal between them. She ranked in the top 20 players while playing under-16. It's shocking her father killed her. There could be more to it than tennis," he said. 'File an FIR so I get death' After he shot Radhika on Thursday morning, Deepak told his brother Kuldeep, "Bhai mujhse kanya vadh ho gaya hai (I've killed my daughter)" The revelation was made by Kuldeep to a TV channel. Kuldeep also said Deepal asked cops to register a strong FIR against him so that he gets capital punishment for his sin.
