Although the election of the City Street Vendors i.e. Hawker Committee was held in August 2024, the counting process could not be completed due to legal reasons. The court allowed the process to proceed and the Law Department was directed to make efforts in this regard. After the permission was granted by the court, the counting process was completed and the issue of the City Street Vendor Committees was resolved. As per the directions given by the court and within the stipulated time, QR code-based identity cards are being distributed to a total of 99,435 hawkers on the basis of the City Street Vendors Act. We will continue our efforts to resolve various issues related to hawkers. The Mayor said that we will continue comprehensive efforts so that no one is abused and no deserving person is deprived of benefits.

Mumbai: Strict action should be taken against the insolent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Nazia Elahi because it poses a threat to law and order. In such circumstances, there is a fear of unrest in the state. Therefore, a law should be enacted with a sentence of more than ten years against those who commit blasphemy and blasphemy against important personalities. This demand was made here today by Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi. He has demanded from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis that Muslims are visiting police stations across the state to register FIRs against Nazia Elahi, but so far no action has been taken against the insolent blasphemer, which has angered Muslims. Today, Samajwadi Party Mumbai/Maharashtra State President and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that BJP minority leader Nazia Elahi’s inflammatory statements against the Prophet of Islam and Islam on social media have hurt the sentiments of Muslims, therefore there is a wave of anxiety and tension in the country and the state and this has affected peace and order. There is a danger to him. Therefore, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was requested to register an FIR and arrest him.
