The Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) has set December 18 as the deadline for street and mobile vendors operating within its jurisdiction to submit registration applications. The decision was taken at a meeting of the AMC Board of Corporators, which approved recommendations of its study team on regulating street vendors and identifying vending zones.
The registration will cover vendors operating temporary shops as well as those who move from place to place to sell goods. Application forms can be downloaded from the corporation's official website, and completed forms must be submitted at the AMC office in Thuampui by December 18. Licences will be issued to eligible vendors after scrutiny of applications.
The December 18 deadline sets a firm timeline for thousands of informal vendors in Aizawl to come under the municipal framework. The AMC's study team has already identified vending zones, meaning the registration drive is the next step toward formalising street trade in the city. Vendors who miss the deadline risk being left out of the licensing process, though the order does not specify penalties for non-compliance.
