No more informal market, Turi announces

The Gordon's informal market will be removed starting today.

NCD Metropolitan Commander Ben Turi says from today onwards, all PMVs will also need to gather in front of the Gordon police station as well as the back of the market.

All informal vendors will not be entertained anymore.

From now on, all buses will also have to ensure that they clear out the bus stops properly so that people do not loiter and cause problems for commuters around the area, Turi stated.

The bus drivers will need to get back to the police for them to facilitate their needs.

One of the main reasons of the strike is that they (PMV operators) wanted to get help because they get harassed every time there is an ethnic fight at the Gordon market area.

Police are now monitoring the situation at Gordon.
