The constant need to move goods, combined with the unstable weather in October and the continuous rain, caused the businesses of small traders to stagnate.

If goods are left at the kiosk, they must be placed higher than 2 meters to ensure safety.safeAll traders must also leave their phone number in case of emergency so that the authorities can contact them.
