Officials in Bengaluru were directed to clear street vendors and other obstacles, including abandoned and illegally parked vehicles, from footpaths, and a directive was issued to immediately commence development works in the cleared encroachment areas. The footpath encroachment clearance drive has received an excellent response from the public, and officials were instructed to clear all encroachments in a phased manner.

The Safe Footpath Campaign in Bengaluru has run into conflict with street vendors, and the wares of evicted street vendors were seized, according to The Hindu.

Accounts differ on whether evictions have taken place. India reported that hundreds of street vendors have been evicted in Bengaluru as part of the drive in the past week, while other sources state that officials are relocating street vendors rather than evicting them. Countryandpolitics.in also reported that officials are relocating street vendors rather than evicting them.
