“The recovery of the capital is proving complex. Every sector is facing difficulties.” This is the assessment made by the President of the Special Delegation (PDS) of the Urban Commune of Antananarivo (CUA), Feno Ralambomanana, during the presentation of his report on actions taken since he took office last week. Despite the numerous challenges facing the capital, the municipality affirms it is continuing the actions launched around three priorities: transport, markets, and city cleanliness.
“These are essential sectors, but there are still other projects to be carried out,” the PDS emphasizes. According to him, these three pillars form the foundations of the capital’s recovery policy, even if other issues will need to be addressed.
Regarding markets, the CUA intends to continue the reorganization operations of sites occupied irregularly. The intervention at Petite Vitesse, which sparked strong opposition from some traders, has not shaken the commune’s determination. “We will not give in. Operations will continue in other sectors,” affirms Feno Ralambomanana. The goal is to restore order in public spaces, improve traffic conditions, and contribute to a cleaner and better-organized city. Despite limited resources, the commune ensures it will continue its efforts to strengthen the management of the capital.
The issue of operating hours for the morning market also remains under study. The CUA indicates that discussions are ongoing to reconcile the needs of traders with market organization requirements. A project is being prepared, but its implementation will still require consultations with the concerned vendors.
The President of the Special Delegation reminds that the measures currently applied are not the result of new decisions made by his administration. “Since my arrival at the CUA, I have not changed any regulations. I am simply applying the existing provisions,” he asserts.
