Food and fruit vendors in the city will come under the microscope in a matter of weeks,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, as the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) is currently streamlining a massive campaign aimed at stamping out all operations that do not comply with the relevant requirements needed to undertake such vending activities.To this end, an emergency meeting was engaged yesterday by the municipality’s Medical Officer of Health,Wholesale Jerseys China, Dr Bizuayehi Jeffrey. According to Public Relations Officer, Royston King, at the meeting concerns about the way that foods are currently being prepared and sold in various parts of the city were expressed by the Medical Officer.He said that it was decided that the campaign would commence within the next two weeks where officials of the council will seek to destroy foods that are sold by persons who have not been approved by council. Defaulters will even stand the risk of being charged as well.“If persons are engaged in this activity (food businesses) they will have to not only be in position of their food handlers’ certificate but they must be operating in a hygienic manner that is needful for the preparation and/or sale of food.”And there have been several complaints that have reached the municipality as it relates to the unacceptable way that food is prepared by vendors.According to Chief Meat and Food Inspector,Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys, Jackdeep Singh,Cheap Jerseys From China, “we are very much concerned about the things we have been hearing. Based on what we have learnt a lot of food safety principles and hygiene concerns are being violated and we need to control this situation.” Once foods are not kept under the appropriate condition they create a condition whereby bacteria can readily thrive. Food, according to Singh, must either be kept hot (57 degrees centigrade and above) or cold (four degrees Celsius and below) and under no circumstance should be sold from a vehicle trunk.? However, some food carts will be allowed to continue their operations once they comply with regulations, he added.Allowing unhygienic situations to persist could result in food-borne illnesses, and the Chief Meat and Food Inspector emphasized that young children and the elderly are the most vulnerable.Additionally, fruits presented in styrofoam platters wrapped in plastic have also been a cause for concern, as Singh noted that some even use a cutting surface that may not constitute a hygienic situation.? And then there is the problem of the fruits being stored at a temperature that is not suitable for their preservation.According to the city official, fruits should be kept at a temperature of at least four degrees Celsius or below. “We are ready to seize and destroy these fruits because if they are not prepared right and if they are not of the right temperature they are not good for human consumption.”And these unhygienic and unacceptable practices have been observed mostly in the Stabroek and Bourda market areas, according to Singh. However, based on the inspections conducted by health inspectors only two fruit vendors operating in the city have been approved by the municipality. These,China Jerseys Cheap, according to King, include Abdool Rahaman’s mobile stall at the junction of East and Church Streets and another fruit vendor located in Oronoque Street. “According to the public health people those two are approved but we hope that they will continue to comply with regulations and that they will provide only wholesome fruits to people who are supporting them.”And those that will be among the first to be targeted in the coming weeks are those that have already been exposed to training that was afforded by the municipality, Singh disclosed.

Government is mulling the relocation of the Stabroek Minibus Park,Wholesale China Jerseys, which will see the creation of terminals at strategic locations. This was disclosed yesterday by Rabindranauth Chanderpaul, Chief Transport Planning Officer of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications at the opening of the Ministry’s Engineers’ Conference at the National Conference Centre, Liliendaal.Utilising examples,Cheap Jerseys Online, to demonstrate the workings of the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) System, passengers traversing to Georgetown using the East Bank Demerara Highway will disembark at the Mandela Avenue terminal, while minibuses using the Railway Embankment to Georgetown will stop at UG Road terminal.At the terminals, “feed buses” would be available to continue the passengers’ commute.Despite, the number of vehicles involved in the passengers commute it would not be expensive.As a matter of fact, it may remain the same fare.Chanderpaul explained that a fare integration system may be employed to ensure that daily commute is inexpensive. For instance, a person who lives at 19th Street, Diamond,CHeap NFL Jerseys China, on the East Bank of Demerara,Cheap Jerseys NFL China, may join a hire car which takes him/her to the East Bank Public Road and there he/she continues travelling in a route 42 bus heading to Georgetown. Using the BRT system the passenger will disembark at the Mandela bus terminal where he/she joins a “feed bus”. The fare may remain as it is when the passenger reaches his/her location because of the fare integration.In addition, the number of minibuses involved in the journey would not necessarily mean more time consumption, it may be the opposite. Chanderpaul pointed to the fact that certain roads and lanes would be designated “bus only”. To facilitate this there will be strategic changes: for example route 40 minibuses would utilise Croal Street instead of Regent Street, which is one of the busiest streets in Georgetown.The implementation of the system would require the construction of new roadways and expansion of existing ones.To accommodate the UG Road terminal, the embankment that was once inhabited with squatters would be transformed into a road for buses only.According to him, when and if this system is implemented, it will alter the transportation network for all, since the constant stopping of minibuses would not affect the flow of traffic.This new system would integrate existing minibuses that are serving the public. Chanderpaul noted that a licence system would be available to minibus operators if they are interested. He noted that the importation of large buses would be welcomed.In the interim the concept is being discussed, “I think we have to bring in large buses to run on the main routes while developing the alternate terminal,Jerseys NFL Wholesale,” Minister of Transport and Hydraulics Robeson Benn posited.The Engineers’ Conference is an annual feature of the Ministry that allows a common forum for engineers to discuss techniques and new technologies in the area of road and bridges construction,NFL Jerseys Supply, and sea defence among others.

However, yesterday, GRA in announcement a cancellation of the new measures said that it is in the process of installing a container scanner and at the same time providing training to staff, which is necessary to process the release of barrels and small packages, before they are released to the consignees.“This new initiative would reflect a more transparent process that will enhance and expedite the services provided by GRA. Notwithstanding the above, GRA has put in place internal mechanisms to ensure that the clearance of personal effects are expedited during the Christmas season.”GRA also appealed to persons conducting business at the various wharves, to adhere to the system in place, and avoid the use of covert tactics in an effort to expedite the process and thereby disrupting the smooth flow of business.
