Madang Urban LLG

The polling teams from the respective wards gathered this morning at 7.30 at the Madang District Office where they received polling materials including the ballot papers.

The 10 wards of Madang Urban LLG, comprises of 36 polling teams who will be setting up more than one polling booth at the Gazetted polling locations for the eligible voters to cast their votes. 

Two LLGs of Madang District started polling yesterday and continues today. 
Polling teams from the 36 teams gathered at the Madang District office as early as 7.30am.

The notice was issued to the Market Manager, Otto Janjet to stop the market from operating, as there were piles of rubbish sitting at the market for over a month.

When serving the order for closure, a commotion erupted between the health inspectors and the market manager yesterday.

Janjet told the Madang Urban LLG health inspectors that he will not close the market but will clean up the pile of rubbish that had been there. 

Speaking in a press conference last week, Yama says vendors resort to sell whatever they want to and keep on throwing rubbish wherever they please, which is against set rules.

He says Madang Urban LLG always gets the blame for the increase in illegal activities and law and order problems, but most of these activities are caused by people who know the rules yet continue to break them.

The MULLG knows that some vendors depend entirely on the income earned from selling goods and services in the market, but rules must be respected.
