Hawkers, open-air grills and night food stalls will be banned around

posting or spraying ads, to improve environment management, Dong Qijun of the
city's urban management bureau said in Beijing today. Besides Olympics
venues, airports, Tian'anmen Square, major commercial areas and tourist
attractions would also be monitored, he said. Dong promised to respond to
complaints from residents about such violations. The bureau would deploy
vehicles equipped with surveillance facilities for monitoring purposes, he said.
