Shillong Municipal Board authorities on Tuesday carried out an eviction drive in the Khyndailad area here in compliance with the Meghalaya High Court’s orders.
During the drive, the authorities confiscated goods and dismantled stalls of street vendors who were operating without valid certificates of vending (COV).
Acting on a state government directive that set a deadline (July 22) for all unauthorised vendors to vacate the area, the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB) officials had been verifying vending permits for the past few days.
