LOCAL MARKETS
In spite of strikes reported of employees at vegetable and fish stalls all the markets are open and the conditions at some of them are said to be practically normal. There is a scarcity of fruit with little variety and what there in is very expensive. No fish is arriving from Canton but local catches and those of the Shekki fishermen are keeping some of the fish stalls going.
Vegetable stalls were
