Dear Editor,
The Ministry of LG&RD issued a statement debunking a news article that it played a part in the removal exercise of vendors outside Demico House and Discount Store on Sunday, April 28 (NewsRoom April 29). The news article was carried by SN on April 29 with accompanied photograph of a cleared Demico House walkway.
Did SN, following due diligence, arrive at the conclusion because a ministry was involved in another vendors’ matter that the LG&RD was involved in these vendors’ removal matter?
Yours faithfully,
Shamshun Mohamed
Editor’s note: The report of the ministry’s involvement was based on a statement made by the Mayor.
