Government Intensifies City Planning for Sustainable Jakarta"We also get support from the army (TNI) and police to secure some points against street vendors not setting up stalls in Kota Tua's red zone area," he expressed, Sunday (1/22).
His party also took firm action against vendors who are still ignoring the rules.
"We're no longer appealing, but acting to confiscate illegal vendors' merchandise in tourist areas," he asserted.
He urged related regional apparatus organizations (OPDs) not to hold a pop-up bazaar that attracts illegal vendors inside Kota Tua.
"This is done to prevent chaos," he explained.
He was optimistic that this action would be able to discipline those who have been selling so far.
"By so, visitors will come to the coached location (Lokbin) to buy food and drinks," he closed.
