        "summary": "Relocation of sidewalk vendors From Suara Karya There has been an ever-growing number of sidewalk vendors at strategic places in Jakarta, which hampers traffic-flow, disturbs pedestrians and creates an \"unsightly\" view. The areas where such stalls are mushrooming cover the bus terminals of Pulo Gadung and Blok M, the zones of Glodok, Pasar Baru and Senen, the railway station of Jatinegara, the Tanah Abang market, and the intersections of Cawang and Grogol.",
