Street vendors robbing the public.
Fruit sellers and vegetable sellers on carts, vendors, are selling fruits and vegetables at exorbitant prices as the summer is approaching.
Yesterday I purchased a watermelon for Rs.50.00, today from the same vendor the same sized watermelon is costing Rs.150.00 How do normal people will buy them?
Markets have lost ethics and morals. People are being literally robbed of the prices.
Who is there to control the prices? more

You are the person to control prices. Stop buying for some days if you feel that the price is unreasonable. No trader would like to stock goods. Perishables should all the more be subjected to this treatment. Let the vendor become uncertain of his sale. He will be compelled to bring down his price when he sees that no one his buying his stock. Instil the fear of cost of hoarding. Prices will automatically come down. This has to be done by you and co-operation of the general public in your area. The Govt. will not be able to do anything. Please help your self. Consumer resistance is the controlling factor of price. more

In the case of perishables , the price can't be controlled . It fluctuates according to the supply . When the market is dumped with perishable fruits there will be distress sale obviously . That is when we get them at ridiculously low prices . When the harvest and suply is planned and regulate then we see a stability in prices. The street vendours most of them procure from the unautherized middle men who download the stuff within the city premises on road juction and from there it is distributed . TO DO THIS THEY PAY MONEY TO A CHAIN OF PEOPLE WHICH ADDSON TO THE PRICE . more

Now that Adhaar card is mandatory all street vendors must be resgistered with local muncipality and an app be designed to control prices across the state/region depending on production and availability! If there is a massive effort to organise these people lives will become easier for them and us! They can be managed on where they park their Lori's and sell, traffic issues too can be cubed and muncipality can take all credit they want ! No hi more
