In early 2001 hawkers in Vasant Kunj began efforts for Master Plan space (see chronicle up to February 20021 and annexure-2 in NCMP-DMP Note of June 20042). These progressed well till de-railed by NGO policy initiatives (see paper of May 20023).

Residents of urban villages, with spill-over down-market uses stressing their settlements and water bodies, were also seeking planned development (and filed in 2003 a comprehensive PIL4). The Federation of RWAs of flat residents was doing likewise in face of water and traffic problems and supported the hawkers (eg, letter of 31/05/20015). Slum citizens were opposing misuse of lowincome housing sites and stock, including for local enterprises excluded from planned commercial sites.

When the Manushi-PMO hawker policy was announced, all wrote separately and as Master Plan Implementation Support Group letters to PM6 about statutory Plan solutions. In reply to PMO reference about these, on 19/10/2001 DDA wrote to PMO to assure implementation7. The flat residents' Federation initiated bhagidari with the hawkers' forum for interim implementation of the detailed proposals hawkers had submitted to DDA on which action was assured in June 2001 and informed authorities about the initiative8 and, afterwards, its success9, notably at a problematic T-junction on the main road from where hawkers voluntarily dismantled their stalls and shifted to the adjoining vacant commercial centre site (with Plan provision for hawkers).

Authorities, however, summarily demolished the initiative and issued licenses to other shops on the roadside. In September 2002 MPISG efforts led to High Court order for stoppage and inquiry of the illegal Sultangarhi project, and while over 1700 families were responding in support of the Plan to the Public Notice inviting objections to that scheme, a tender for unrestricted disposal of commercial space in violation of the Plan was issued, leading to joint MPISG PIL of October 2002 and continuing engagements in its context.

    DMP has explicit provisions for hawking, small shops, regulated mixed use, etc, that recent informal sector policy has been disregarding to maintain extortionist status-quo and other policy has been subverting by allowing misuse of their DMP space. NCMP commitments for informal sector call for rectification by enforcing DMP or better solutions.
