In a significant move aimed at supporting the city’s street vendors, City Mayor Smt. Harpreet Kaur Babla has announced a one-time relief for vendors who have lost their vending licenses due to non-payment of dues to the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh.

Addressing appeals of 472 affected vendors here today, the Mayor declared a final opportunity for defaulters to regularize their dues within a three-month period. Vendors who clear their outstanding payments within this window will have their licenses reinstated. However, failure to comply will result in permanent cancellation of the licenses.

“This is a Diwali gift to our vendor community, many of whom have faced hardships due to economic challenges,” said Mayor Babla. “We believe in inclusive growth, and this step ensures that small businesses get a fair chance to recover and thrive.”

Earlier, the Mayor had extended similar relief to 350 vendors after reviewing their appeals. The current decision expands the benefit to a larger number of vendors, reaffirming the Corporation’s commitment to the welfare of the informal sector.

The Mayor also emphasized that this is the final chance for defaulting vendors to settle their dues. 

This initiative reflects the city’s continued commitment to supporting livelihoods while maintaining accountability and civic order.
