The odd part

It only took 78 years to decide that a vendor's identity doesn't change when they move from the cart to the counter.

What happened

The Union Health Ministry has made the scientific discovery that a street vendor with a municipal certificate is the same human being as a street vendor needing an FSSAI license. By introducing 'deemed registration,' the government has finally ended the 'Dual Compliance' era, where vendors were required to prove they exist to two different departments simultaneously to sell the same samosa.
