Hundreds of locals and betel nut traders have blocked off the 4mile road in Madang in protest over the recent buai ban in the country.
The locals told police there are in support of the government’s orders and have decided to stop the sell for now.
A ward 17 member, Sala Lato says they have decided to block off the road with the bags of betel nut for their local MP and police minister, Bryan Kramer, to go to Madang to address them.
