…complain of abrupt removal
Sand truck operators who traverse the East Bank Demerara Highway have been hit with a seemingly abrupt decision to prohibit them from plying their trade along that corridor.

Life has just gotten harder for them, their already having complained of having to grapple with low prices for their commodity and reduced working hours owing to the restriction barring them from travelling on the roadways between 6:30am and 9:00am on weekdays.
The sand truck operators are especially upset over the inadequate notice given them in regard to this apparently sudden decision. When some truckers arrived at their usual area, right around the turn from the DSL Supermarket, they were greeted with “No parking for lorry” signs freshly painted on the sides of the road. When police ranks were painting the new sign on the road, some of the truckers were already there “conducting their hustle”.
