From the next Saturday (10), the eve of Valentine's Day, the commerce of Campina Grande should adopt the special hours of operation. This is the recommendation of the Chamber of Shopkeepers (CDL) of Campina Grande and aims to serve the consumers and tourists who wish to carry out the purchases during the feast of São João.

   The President of CDL, Artur Pellet, explains that "only with campaigns to encourage sales the trade of our city can overcome this moment of economic uncertainty that both undermines the micro and small entrepreneur". However, the director guides retailers who choose to adhere to the recommendation that they are attentive to the definitions of the collective Convention of Trade workers in order to avoid any kind of conflict or labor causes.

   The CDL requested the command of the II Military Police Battalion (ii BPM), Lt. Col. Lamark Victor, the reinforcement of the effective police to ensure security for both shopkeepers and traders and consumers.
