‘Vendors on roads pose health risk’


Mumbai: Food vendors on city streets could pose serious health hazards, MNS corporator Chetan Kadam highlighted at the general body meeting of the BMC on Monday. 
    "Vendors selling cooked items do not follow hygiene standards and risk thehealth of consumers. Their food tends to attract mosquitoes and causes serious health concerns," said Kadam. 
    Samajwadi corporator Yakoob Memon said a humane angle should be taken while tackling the hawker issue. "Hawkers set up stalls to earn a living. It's unfair to target them. We have all bought foodstuff from hawkers at some point. So why this hypocrisy," asked Memon. 

    Former mayor and Shiv Sena corporator Shubha Raul said vendors selling grocery and fruits should be exempted. Mayor Sunil Prabhu said it is the BMC's responsibility keep citizens safe and action should be taken against vendors selling foodstuff on the roads.
