Market vendors from Sigatoka to Rakiraki also in Labasa and Savusavu will not have to pay any market fees this month.

Minister for Local Government, Parveen Bala says this decision has been made to help vendors as they have suffered a lot during Tropical Cyclone Josie and Keni where they lost most of their produce and items that were kept in the municipal markets.

He says they are also helping businesses in the Western Division by cleaning their shops that were affected by flood waters.
