Under the new guidelines, all sellers are required to provide a 3×3-metre umbrella in a unified blue colour, while selling on the ground without an umbrella is strictly prohibited. Expatriate sellers must also carry a valid labour card to participate.

The Municipality clarified that it will not be responsible for any loss of goods during the Habta period. It also prohibited the entry of street vendor carts into designated market sites.

Livestock-related activities are subject to specific controls, with owners required to remain within designated areas and prohibited from displaying animals on public roads or outside the Habta locations.
