Street vendors to get hygiene training in Cuttack

Cuttack: To sensitise street vendors about hygiene and sanitation, the Cuttack Municipal Corporation has decided to train 10,000 registered street vendors. The civic body has constituted 15 teams to monitor and conduct the workshops. “Everyone must be accountable to keep the city clean. Our streets should not portray a dirty picture,” said a CMC official.
Official sources said several street vendors have been found to be throwing garbage on roads despite repeated reminders from the CMC. “All street vendors will be sensitised on cleanliness,” said Bijay Dash, commissioner, CMC.
After the training, all street vendors will be monitored by CMC officials to ensure that they do not throw garbage on streets or nearby places. “The vendors will ensure that the garbage will be delivered to CMC garbage collecting vehicles and workers,” added Dash.The campaign will go on for the next three months and after that the vendors will be monitored.
