Estevao Nuno – Squatters living in the former Comoro market will be evicted to establish new National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL) dormitories.
Dili district administrator Gaspar Soares said as the site was state property, those living there must vacate the property.
Vendors will be moved to the recently expanded Manleuana market. Member of Parliament Albina Marcal Freitas said the plan was accounted for in the 2015 state budget.
Secretary of State for Security Francisco da Costa Guterres said the process was underway. "We will establish 100 houses for PNTL members because there are a lot of police in Dili," he said.
He said designs had been drawn up but needed revision. The budget for the program was undergoing approval, he said.
