Today in the morning when I (ad)came
out from pragati maidan metro station I stopped at a street vendor
selling juice. I was with my colleague Sri Sanjeew Ambasth, Indian Law
Institute, New Delhi. I started enquiring about a child around 12 years age who
was peeling the mausami. The vender
replied that the boy is his relative. On asking why is he not studying in
school, I was told that the boy belongs to Bahraich
of UP which is inflicted from flood. Therefore, he is here and helping his
parents earn roti.
ad - whether he has to pay something
to men from police, municipality,
Juice vendor- to police wala I gives
Rs 150/hafta(week), 300/month to one from
municipality, another 600 rupees to another from municipality.
ad-so 600/ month to police, +
300+ 600= 1500/month
Juice vendor -Some time free
juice to some men in authority like police, municipality etc especially there is some panga with customers on
change of money, etc.
ad-Why do not you take a licence for street selling.
Juice vendor—I ve full paper etc.
ad-then why do you give them
money?
……I could not talk longer because
it was 9.10 and we had to reach Indian Law Institute for thumb impression on
biometric.
I was reminded by an Act of 2014.
