KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 (Bernama) — A total of 124 roadside hawkers in Lembah Pantai here will be relocated to a nearby venue this year to ease traffic flow there, Federal Territories and Urban Well-Being Minister Raja Datuk Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said Sunday.

“We have issued them with notices and we are working with the private sector to set up their new place of business,” he told reporters after joining a procession to mark Prophet Muhammad’s birthday organised by the Lembah Pantai Umno, here.

Raja Nong Chik, who is also Lembah Pantai Umno Division chief, said the Umno division would set up a mosque and surau consultative council for the constituency to foster greater interaction between the management of seven mosques and 23 surau in the constituency.

“Many micro and grassroots problems associated with these houses of worship do not reach the top level,” he added.
