The matter is scheduled for hearing before a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar on October 19.
In a bid to avoid congestion and ease flow of traffic, the green panel in 2015 had declared that no rickshaw and hawkers would be permitted on the metalled road and said that “the right of the hawkers has been permitted by the Supreme Court in the area beyond the metalled road”.
“In the event any vehicle is parked in the central verge or beyond the red line on any of these roads, the traffic police shall take a serious view of the matter and deal with the offender in accordance with law…,” the bench had said in its order.
