The NCD City rangers are still out in force, carrying out spot checks in and around the city area.
NCD deputy city manager Honk Kiap says that buai (betelnut) will not be.tolerated on the streets but allowed at markets around the city periphery like Gerehu, Hanuabada and Morata markets.
This morning PNG Loop observed two ten-seaters filled with NCD reservists doing the rounds at the Rainbow area.
Kiap says that the rangers are dispersed among suburbs with targeted trouble areas or hot spots that they monitor.
Meanwhile the NCD budget has yet to be properly presented and as such Kiap says that most of the reservists operations are scaled down until the accounts open for them.
But he warns vendors that the ban on street sales still stands and called on them to listen to the warnings and cooperate.
