The prohibition order from the KHADC comes after it was seen that many non-tribals have been carrying out their businesses in areas within the jurisdiction of the council, especially in parts of state capital Shillong, without a valid licence.
The secretary to the EC of KHADC mentioned that hawking that is being carried out is illegal, unhygienic, and a cause of inconvenience to the general public.
