MPI relocates sand trucks

Truck drivers who sell sand on the shoulders of the East Bank of Demerara Public Road, outside of the Industrial Site have been relocated by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI).

Spokeswoman for the Ministry Desilon Daniels told Stabroek News that a decision was taken to relocate the vendors, following reports of the trucks being a safety hazard to incoming traffic, and the blowing sand getting into consumable items being manufactured in the vicinity.

The sand vendors will now operate south of National Hardware
