On the 5th of March 2014, the President of India approved a law passed by both houses of Parliament, titled ‘Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending)
Act, 2014.’ This is a landmark legislation for around 10 million street vendors operating in different cities in India. The Act has not yet been operationalised because the day it received the presidential assent, the Model Code of Conduct for the general elections came into effect. Under this code, no new laws can be enforced till a new government is formed after the elections namely after 16 May 2014.
