Therefore, a Welfare Board for Petty Shops and Street Vending Workers could be formed under section 6 of the Act. This Board may be

named as Tamil Nadu Petty Shops and Street Vending Workers Welfare Board. He has further stated that the proposed Petty Shops and Street Vending Workers Welfare Board could be managed and administered by the existing Secretary and staff already created to manage the affairs of the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Welfare Board.

After careful examination, the Government direct that the Tamil Nadu Street Vending and Shops and Establishments Workers Welfare Board be established separately and be notified in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette under sub-section (1) of section 6 of the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982 (Tamil Nadu Act 33 of 1982) as appended to this order. 5.
