Street vendors stationed at Anosy have been ordered to clear the sidewalks. The Urban Municipality of Antananarivo (CUA) has issued them a 48-hour ultimatum to evacuate, according to statements made yesterday by the Markets Director, Gilles Randrianantoandro, following an intervention at the Havoria building. "This was originally a garden. With constant trampling by traders, this green space has completely disappeared," the official lamented. The municipality is calling on everyone to comply with market regulations and clarifies that no commerce is permitted outside designated zones. Yet yesterday afternoon, vendors still occupied the site despite the summons. The shores of Lake Anosy and the fronts of administrative buildings remain heavily invaded by informal commerce. For most of these merchants, this activity is primarily a means of survival amid unemployment. "I lost my job as a driver two years ago. This is the only work I found to feed my family," confides one vendor stationed by the lake. Facing the situation, traders are requesting relocation to continue their activities. On this matter, Gilles Randrianantoandro clarifies that vendors can integrate into any market of their choice, subject to available spaces. "There are probably still vacant spots in the markets of Andravoahangy, Coum 67Ha, or Petite Vitesse," he indicates. The municipality is intensifying sanitation operations throughout the capital. However, these interventions have produced limited results so far, and streets remain constantly reoccupied.
