He noted that the state government, however, did not approve the re-opening of the livestock markets (kara) of any of these markets, warning against any attempts to violate the order.

“People should not be seen carrying any weapons into the markets and no person should be seen attacking or threatening any body in the name of whatever group or organisations.

“Security agencies are, by this notice, directed to ensure that people carry out their lawful businesses within and around the markets, without harassment or intimidation.

“The Task Force on the implementation of the Executive Order of the state should ensure compliance and guard against any breach of the order”, Dosara said.
