Bengaluru: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has instructed Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to stop all street vending activities in the city.

The CM called mayor Gautam Kumar, the standing committee on health chairman G Manjunath Raju, leader of the ruling party Muneendra Kumar and Municipal Commissioner Anil Kumar and instructed them to strictly enforce the ban.
