About 80 per cent of the stalls have resumed operations as of Jul. 1.
Cleanliness was an issue
Previously, diners and hawkers interviewed by 8World expressed that cleanliness was an issue at People's Park Food Centre.
Dim lightings, birds, droppings, and dirty tables and chairs were among the issues raised.

However, efforts have been made to dissuade birds from frequenting the area, including the use of nets and spikes.
Other measures were installed to prevent rodents from getting into food stalls as well, ST reported.
