She explained that traders are required to re-register to determine kiosk arrangements. Data validation will then be conducted to ensure accuracy and prevent overlapping placements.
An official announcement of the traders placed at the Jakarta Fauna and Culinary Center will be made before mobilization begins.
“Mobilization includes vacating the old kiosks at Barito and moving traders to their new locations in Lenteng Agung. Through this process, the Jakarta Provincial Government will ensure a smooth and orderly relocation,” she asserted.
Ratu added that the Jakarta Fauna and Culinary Center is expected to enhance MSME competitiveness and offer a fresh experience for the public.
“With better facilities, business owners can grow, while residents gain a new culinary destination integrated with a comfortable public space,” she expressed.
