PoliticsNHRC Directs States to Protect Vendors' Rights During Festivals
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has instructed all states and union territories to protect the livelihoods and human rights of local vendors, street sellers, potters, and small traders during upcoming festivals like Navratri, Diwali, and Chhath Puja. This follows complaints of vendors being removed, fined, and harassed without cause. The NHRC emphasized that vendors should not be displaced without providing alternative locations.
