The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will issue identity cards to as many as 24,129 street vendors so that they are not harassed by its officials or the police.
The civic agency carried a survey of street vendors in eight BBMP zones last September and identified the places where they can do business. A BBMP official said: "We have identified hawker zones in each ward where these vendors will be given space. This will also help us crack down on illegal hawking. We will also issue them ID cards."
