Arab Sea Newspaper - Special

**Arab Sea - Reports:** **The traffic department in Taiz Governorate managed this morning to thwart an attempt to re-establish random stalls inside one of the vital streets in the city market, only two days after implementing a large-scale campaign to remove violations and organize the markets.** **Field sources reported that one of the infiltrators tried to sneak into the recently organized street and placed his stall in an attempt to reclaim the site he previously occupied, as part of the phenomenon of slums that have long burdened the city's residents and hindered traffic.** **However, the traffic officers deployed at the site immediately monitored his movements and were able to apprehend him before he could redeploy or re-occupy the road, in a clear confirmation of the vigilance of the concerned authorities and their continued implementation of the organization's decisions.** **The Taiz traffic department confirmed that it is serious about applying legal measures against anyone who tries to return to randomness, stressing that the street will not be used again as a Qat market or to practice any illegal activities.** **It also confirmed that the campaign will continue until full discipline is achieved and normal life and traffic organization return to the city.** **These measures come as part of extensive efforts made by the local authority to reduce the spread of informal markets, improve the appearance of the city, and facilitate movement within vital streets, which will positively reflect on the daily lives of citizens.**
