PMVs refuse to pick passengers

NCD police have moved in to clear out the Gordon bus stop area.

All bus passengers have been directed to walk out to the Unagi Oval to catch PMVs.

This follows the early afternoon ethnic fight in the area.

However, PMV drivers have been seen congregating their vehicles away from the Unagi park area, refusing to pick up passengers.

PMV drivers were seen convoying towards the Unagi oval and Boroko area, shouting “strike” and blaring their bus horns.

For now, passengers at Jack Pidik have been left stranded with most PMVs seen driving off from the field.

Presently details are sketchy as police are also left trying to regroup while talks with market vendors and PMV drivers, who have been affected by the ethnic fights at Gordon market, are underway.
