Thousands of street vendors in Old Delhi halted work on Thursday to protest an MCD anti-encroachment drive near Jama Masjid. Following a High Court order, authorities began clearing stalls to ease congestion, while vendors demand protection under the Street Vendors Act.
The SC questioned the MCD as to how it would deal with all the solid waste by 2027 when it cannot even account for the 3000 tonnes of solid waste generated everyday.
