I the NHRC Complainant have received a telephonic request from Bony who is the Karnataka Program / Programme Manager of National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) (@ 14:51 hours on Tuesday, April 17, 2012) during which he requested me to give / send / forward a press release that he will/would be sending to me by email.
Bony is a resident of Delhi and not Mysore City. Since he has sent the press release from a Cyber Cafe of Mysore City I had to make the necessary corrections to the original press release in the word document as the press release was very confusing and was very difficult to understand.
After having made the necessary corrections to the original press release and proper formatting (in good faith) I have converted it into a Portable Document Format (PDF).

NASVI Press Release
"Honour the National Policy and Restore Our (Street Vendors') Rights"
16 April 2012, Monday, Mysore:
Protesting against the harassment and violation of fundamental rights for livelihood by the Municipal Corporation of Mysore, more than two thousand street vendors of Mysore city marched to the Mysore City Corporation (MCC) Office on Monday, April 16, 2012.
Responding to National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), more than 500 street vendors of Mysore city, marched to the MCC Office on Monday, April 16, 2012, demanding immediate restoration of their right to livelihood. Vendors' leaders from Najangudu, T. Narsipura and Hunsur also joined in the Dharna and protest.
The agitators said the Karnataka State government and MCC have/had backed up from their promises and have been showing disrespect to the Hon'ble Supreme Court order (The apex court had directed the government to bring in a law for the street vendors by June 30, 2011 so that their fundamental right to livelihood is protected and ensured).
In February 2012, Smt./Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the National Advisory Council (NAC) had also recommended for a Central Law for the street vendors to the Government of India (GoI).
In the Budget session the Hon'ble President of India had announced that the Central Government is working on the street vendors' legislation. However, the Government of Karnataka which has/had declared publicly several times promising the State level legislation had not honoured its own words.
The Street vendors have submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister and Urban Development Minister of Karnataka on April 07, 2012, and protested before Deputy Commissioner's / DC office on April 12, 2012.
On April 10, 2012, street vendors' leaders from Mysore have met and been promised by the Ministry of Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA), Government of India.
Vendors have formed a 20 member agitation committee and said that the agitation will/would continue until the MCC respects its words to form a Town Vending Committee, as per the National Policy for the Street Vendors.
Responding to the protest the MCC Commissioner and District Collector addressed the crowd and promised a meeting of vendors leaders tomorrow 4 pm (on Tuesday, April 17, 2012) to settle the issue. "The agitation will continue until the concerns are solved" said the leaders to the media.
From all of Mysore district 2000 vendors will wait in front of the MCC office to hear the MCC Commissioner after the scheduled meeting at 04:00 PM.
