North Delhi to have organised vending through smart carts & cards
With a view to ensure organised hawking zones, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation is going to launch a prototype of a ‘smart cart’ to benefit street vendors and turn them into businessmen. GPS-enabled smart cards will be issued to vendors to keep track of licensed vendors and to monitor that space is used by the registered vendor and not rented out. The vendors will be allowed to register themselves by paying a one-time licensing fee through an online application to be created for them. Post the proper registration, the smart cards can be availed which will be linked to their Aadhaar cards. Refrigerators to help keep fruits and vegetables fresh for extended periods, overhead solar panels for refrigerator and lights on the cart and umbrellas will be the attractive features of the new smart carts.
