No More Street Food in New Dehli
India's Supreme Court has banned street vendors from cooking on New Dehli sidewalks, in an attempt to clear the crowded streets, according to this Reuters story. There is one exception: tea vendors. There are some people challenging the order, which suggests that the Supreme Court in India isn't the same as in the U.S. According to the story:
Critics say New Delhi's policemen would be reluctant to enforce such a ban as extracting bribes from street vendors is seen as a job perk.And maybe they don't have doughnut shops. What's an officer to do?
