The meeting discussed the implementation of the street vendors\u2019 law and the difficulties faced by vendors in different parts of Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe law for street vendors across the country was achieved through a struggle in Delhi. If the government and local bodies continue to avoid its effective implementation, we will once again launch a strong struggle for its implementation,\u201d Ghosh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He alleged that while large industrialists were being given various concessions and loan waivers, street vendors were not receiving adequate facilities and access to credit was also becoming increasingly difficult. The federation was capable of taking up the issue and would launch a campaign across all states for effective implementation of the law, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federation working president Kashinath Nakhate said the situation of street vendors varies across different cities in Maharashtra. In many places, the provisions of the street vendors\u2019 law are not being effectively implemented, resulting in difficulties and alleged injustice to vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe street vendors\u2019 law should not remain only on paper. Vendors must get the right to conduct their businesses with dignity along with the necessary facilities,\u201d Nakhate said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further demanded that the state government issue clear directions to all municipal corporations and local self-government bodies for effective implementation of the law. He said the federation would soon pursue the matter with the state government and seek concrete measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWherever injustice is faced by street vendors, we will organise and fight collectively,\u201d Nakhate said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National General Secretary Shaktiman Ghosh, Federation Working President Kashinath Nakhate, National Women\u2019s General Secretary Anita Das, coordinator Mekaji Dabare, secretary Vinita Balekundri, Mathadi workers\u2019 leader Subhash Marathe, Baban Kamble, municipal committee member Kiran Sadekar, members Raju Birajdar, Aniket Thorat, Rajesh Mane, Vidya Ramgude and Husna Khan, Bibhisen Jadhav and other office-bearers attended the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Ahilyanagar, Sangli, Satara, Kolhapur, Mumbai, Nagpur, Navi Mumbai and Panvel were also present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pimpri \/ Mumbai : National General Secretary of the National Hawker Federation Shaktiman Ghosh said the federation would launch a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[57,56],"class_list":["post-3283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-maharashtra","tag-pcmc"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-150x150.jpeg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-300x164.jpeg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-392x272.jpeg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-390x205.jpeg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-130x90.jpeg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-150x150.jpeg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pimpri \/ Mumbai : National General Secretary of the National Hawker Federation Shaktiman Ghosh said the federation would launch a","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":11,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath.jpeg",544,297,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-300x164.jpeg",300,164,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kashinath-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
