"A joint team from several regional apparatus organizations (OPDs), coordinated by the Assistant for Economy and Development, has monitored 60 Loksem across eight districts," said Tienda, on Wednesday (6/11).

She revealed that the joint team, consisting of Central Jakarta PPKUKM, Bina Marga, Water Resources (SDA), Transportation, Satpol PP, and City Parks and Forestry Sub-agencies, has submitted the monitoring results as the basis for the mayor’s decision.

"The mayor will issue a decree to either extend or revoke the permits of Loksem that have been operating in Central Jakarta," she explained.

According to her, the joint team’s recommendations cover several aspects, such as traffic congestion, cleanliness, and others.

Meanwhile, Erwan, an assisted vendor at Loksem JP 71 Baladewa, Johar Baru, hopes a new location will be provided if the permit for his current Loksem is revoked.

"If the permit is revoked, we kindly ask for a new location and sufficient time to move our trade goods," he said.
