To maintain law and order and ensure compliance with city regulations, the Municipal Enforcement Team (MC) and Chandigarh Police on Saturday carried out a joint operation in Sector 22 and evicted the vendors operating outside authorized hours.

As per the rules, vendors are allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. However, during recent monitoring campaigns, the team observed that some vendors were operating beyond permitted hours.

Municipal Commissioner Amit Kumar stressed that these joint drives will continue across the city to ensure compliance with the guidelines and prevent encroachments. “We are committed to maintaining the safety and convenience of the public, and we urge all vendors to comply with legal regulations,” he said.

The MC warns that strict action will be taken against violators to preserve the integrity of public spaces. In addition to evicting vendors, the enforcement team also seized materials left at vending sites outside of opening hours. Temporary coverings, such as tarps, have been removed to further ensure compliance.
