These markets, which have been a hotbed for the sale of betelnut and food, have become breeding grounds for opportunistic criminals, who prey on the vulnerable.
Sector Patrol Zone 200, in collaboration with the Gerehu Police Station, launched a joint operation targeting several illegal markets near the city's main commercial center and extending into Rainbow Estate. The authorities swiftly dispersed the illegal vendors, confiscating and destroying their makeshift wooden tables used for selling betelnut and food in public spaces.
