In Sikar, authorities have seized street vendors' carts that were blocking roads, citing illegal encroachment and safety concerns.
Police in Sikar announced that several carts belonging to street vendors were seized after complaints that they were blocking main roads and obstructing traffic flow. The action was taken under the city's encroachment and public safety regulations, which prohibit the use of open roads for commercial stalls without proper permits.
The seized carts were found parked on the roadside of the main thoroughfare, causing congestion during peak hours. Officials stated that the removal was necessary to restore normal traffic patterns and to prevent potential accidents.
Vendors who had previously operated in the area without official authorization were advised to seek proper licensing and to relocate their stalls to designated market zones. The local municipal corporation has issued a notice to all street traders to comply with the new guidelines or face further penalties.
