Why it matters
This project serves as a potential model for urban development and the formalization of street vending in Indian cities.
After missing several deadlines, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) is making renewed efforts to complete the Smart Street Vending Zone at Yendada by the end of August. With the civil works, including land levelling, already completed, the civic body is now preparing to install smart kiosks that will house the vendors.
The Yendada project is one of the three smart street vending zones planned by the GVMC to provide organised, hygienic and modern vending spaces for street vendors. While the proposed vending zone at Old Jail Road, which was earlier developed as a Night Food Court, has remained stalled due to pending court cases, the Yendada and Duvvada projects have been progressing.
The Yendada vending zone has been designed to accommodate 85 eligible and officially recognised street vendors. The project aims to provide them with a kiosk equipped with modern amenities.
