Madang market opens for business

The Madang main market has opened its gates after being closed in the past week due to law and order issues in the province.

Madang Town Mayor Joe Yama told this newsroom that the market is one of Madang’s economic corridor for local people who sell their produce every day.

He said the law and order situation is now under control and people have gone back to doing business.

The market was closed after the beheading of a teacher in Bau, which resulted in chaos and water disruptions to the province’s capital.

The mayor thanked Madang Governor Peter Yama and other leaders for dealing with the issue and restoring normalcy to the province.

Meantime, the body of the late teacher will be repatriated to his home in Ialibu, Southern Highlands, sometime this week.
