We controlled three vegetable carts due to violating trading line
“We controlled three vegetable carts due to violating trading line. About the street vendor selling on JPO, it was very disturbing the pedestrians passing on the bridge,” stated Head of Kramatjati Sub-District Satpol PP Task Force, Agustinus, Thursday (5/22).
Meanwhile Head of East Jakarta City Facilities and Infrastructures Satpol PP, Agus Sidiki, stressed that his party has controlled street vendors many times, but they still had the nerve to sell again on JPO. They are mostly new faces, because old street vendors caught have been recorded their faces and statements.
Satpol PP Officers Attacked by Thugs“Kramatjati JPO is one of the operation targets since street vendors often play hide and seek with the officers. When we guard the location for two weeks, there were no street vendors. But when the officers go, they show up again,” he explained.
For that, Sidiki promised will continuously monitoring the presence of street vendors on JPO from UKI until Kramatjati.
“Residents’ activities are quite high in those locations, so we will keep monitoring. We don’t want their presence disturbed the public,” he uttered.
