The former vending zone in Mohali has been renamed Safed Haathi, and the municipal corporation is now focusing on regulating two night‑time food streets in the city.
The Mohali Municipal Corporation has officially rebranded an aging vending area as "Safed Haathi," aiming to give the space a fresh identity and improve its commercial appeal. The change follows a series of local initiatives to upgrade informal market zones and bring them under formal oversight.
With the rebranding complete, the corporation’s next priority is the supervision of two designated night food streets that have become popular after dusk. Officials plan to monitor hygiene standards, traffic flow, and vendor licensing to ensure a safe and orderly environment for diners.
City officials said the move reflects a broader strategy to modernize Mohali’s street‑food ecosystem while preserving the livelihood of small traders. The corporation will conduct regular inspections and work with vendors to address any operational concerns.
Stakeholders, including local shop owners, have welcomed the attention, noting that clearer guidelines could boost footfall and improve the overall dining experience for residents and visitors alike.
The municipality has not disclosed a timeline for detailed implementation, but it confirmed that the oversight of the night food streets will begin within the next few weeks.
