The Kejetia Petty Traders Association suggested the fumigation exercise should be done at night due to the strong chemicals used and also concurrently in all markets to avoid transfer of virus.
The unions also added their members had planned a similar initiative to de-silt choked gutters and spray them to sanitise the environment and urged the government to oversee to its success.
