The illegal placement of stalls and vending carts on Karachi's busy streets has
been a significant issue for both motorists and pedestrians. These illegal stalls
often block the flow of traffic, leading to congestion and accidents. To mitigate
this problem, it's crucial to address the underlying causes and develop a
comprehensive solution.

Bullet Points:

The creation of designated vending zones in markets and commercial areas can help
regulate the number of stalls and ensure that they do not interfere with traffic.
Strict enforcement of regulations and penalties for illegal placement of stalls can
discourage vendors from setting up shop on the streets and encourage them to move
to designated areas.
The use of mobile vending carts that can be easily moved to designated zones during
peak hours can help reduce congestion on the streets while still providing vendors
with an opportunity to sell their goods.

The illegal electricity connection is practice of tampering with electricity meters

and using electricity without paying for it is a major contributor to the problem.

Electricity/power theft in Karachi market is a common issue that impacts both the
vendors and customers. Unregulated power consumption can result in increased costs
and erratic power supply, which negatively impacts businesses and consumers.

Lack of strict enforcement and monitoring of electricity usage

Poor infrastructure and outdated meters that are easily tampered with
The profitability of reducing electricity expenses for small business owners
