Scheme for betterment of Marina
Posted on: 14/Jun/2013 1:07:01 PM
The Chennai Corporation has proposed a scheme called ‘Scheme for Regulation of Hawkers on the Marina’. Officials presented the proposal during the hearing of a writ petition at the Madras High Court on Thursday.
The petition was filed by President of the Gandhiji Consumer Forum K. Balaji and it said, ‘The condition of Marina Beach was pathetic. The authorities had allowed hundreds of small shops and vendors all over the beach and substandard and unhygienic food was being sold. The civic body admitted that hawkers were scattered over the sands and garbage was spread all over the Marina. The regulation and relocation of hawkers was necessary.’
The Corporation will now ban hawkers from the Marina and allow only pushcarts.
