Suva City Area
ITINERANT Indian barbers, who ply their trade squatting at the roadside, are on the way out at Suva, Fiji.
When the City Council was dis cussing the registration of hair dressing shops, an Indian councillor, Mr. P. K. Bhindi, asked somewhat surprisingly: “What about the Gov ernor?”
He said that although the Gov ernor had his hair cut at home, Government House was not a registered barber’s shop.
The Chief Health Officer replied that although itinerant hairdressers would be abolished in the city, dis cretion would be shown in regard to sick, elderly or other persons who wanted to have their hair cut at home.
