As the traders re-count their losses; they call on the government to compensate them as they have suffered similar challenge in the same market.
Merchants who deal in electrical appliances are the most affected.
Madam Emelia, one of the traders has started arranging her wares after the incident. She claims to have lost over ¢200,000.
The traders want the Kejetia redevelopment project consultant to keep an eye on the second phase to avoid such incidents.
