Monitoring panel

for hawkers

The State Government has approached the Madras High Court to replace former Commissioner of Chennai Corporation M.P. Vijayakumar with his successor Rajesh Lakhoni in the monitoring committee overseeing the rehabilitation of hawkers in Chennai.

In an affidavit filed before the First Bench comprising Chief Justice A.P. Shah and Justice Prabha Sridevan, the Government also sought to include Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sunil Kumar, in place of a senior IPS officer P. Bhaskar, who passed away a few months ago.

While unveiling a comprehensive scheme for rehabilitation and regulation of Chennai hawkers in April this year, the bench had said that since the implementation of the scheme was likely to take a minimum of six months, the State Government should not transfer Mr. Vijayakumar from the post without prior permission from the court.
