Vendors selling along the roadsides and on government reserves at the Mon Repos/La Reconnaissance Market were advised to move to the area north of the market as plying their trade at the said locations was impeding the flow of traffic.

He said too action would be taken against those who flout the law. The minister also advised poultry and other meat vendors that the animals should not be killed at the location.
