It further outlined that traders will be identified by their cards and only 1,942 out of the over 5,000 traders will be allowed to operate on each day.
“That the 5,825 food sellers shall be grouped into three, with each group being identified with the card.
“Only 1,942 members, dealing in all assorted commodities of all trade associations shall be allowed to trade on each day,” the statement added.
