Cimahi's Municipal Police chief acknowledged that whilst the vendors obstruct pedestrian access and violate regulations, their presence is also sought after by residents preparing for the Eid festivities, creating an ongoing seasonal enforcement dilemma.",
        "content": "<p>CIMAHI \u2014 Ahead of Eid 1447 Hijriah, pavements along Gandawijaya\nStreet in Cimahi, West Java, have been inundated with seasonal street\nvendors. Traders have set up stalls across the entire pavement,\nrestricting access for pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>The proliferation of street vendors (PKL) on the road pavement is a\nseasonal phenomenon preceding Eid. They sell various goods including\nclothing, shoes, sandals, headscarves and other items. However, selling\nactivities on pavements are prohibited under Regional Regulation (Perda)\nNo.\u00a09 of 2021 concerning Public Order.<\/p>\n<p>Mochammad Samsul Ma\u2019arif, head of the Municipal Police and Fire\nDepartment of Cimahi City, stated that Gandawijaya Street annually\nbecomes the most popular makeshift marketplace seized by seasonal\nvendors who exploit the Eid momentum for trading. \u201cThe street vendors\ncurrently selling and utilising road reserve areas and pavements along\nGandawijaya Street represent a recurring phenomenon that regularly\noccurs when Ramadan arrives. They originate not only from Cimahi City\nbut many also come from outside the Cimahi region,\u201d said Samsul when\nconfirmed on Sunday (15 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that the presence of vendors filling the street,\nwhich is located in a commercial zone and the city centre of Cimahi,\ndisrupts access for pedestrians. \u201cTheir presence indeed disrupts both\npedestrian and vehicle users on the road. However, on the other hand,\ntheir presence is also greatly needed and awaited by residents shopping\nfor Eid,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
