Local Market

The current produce market in Male is having problems. There are too many sellers, and many of them have camped out along the street near the official market place. The government has even provided indoor space but there is not one seller there because the location is apparently bad for busness. The government has issued a statement saying that any sellers on the street will be arrested by next Wednesday if they do not move. Going to the market, it's easy to see why. The vegetables are sold in triple digit weather on a street that is caked with dirt and littered with trash. It is definitely a health risk. The "market" is also blocking traffic in an already conjested city. I would not want to eat the food sold here.
