Sidewalk traders in Pasar Minggu<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The South Jakarta mayoralty has removed 39
\nsidewalk kiosks from the area around Pasar Minggu bus terminal,
\npursuant to an order requiring their removal by Jan. 20, 1995.<\/p>\n
The mayoralty has provided space at a nearby market place to
\naccommodate the kiosks. A number of kiosk owners responded to the
\ninstruction immediately, moving 32 kiosks there, Antara reported.<\/p>\n
Suparmo, head of the Pasar Minggu district, praised the owners
\nof the 32 kiosks for their readiness to abide by the mayoralty's
\ndecision.<\/p>\n
The remaining seven kiosks, whose owners refused to move them
\naway, were demolished on Thursday by officers of the South
\nJakarta law and order office.<\/p>\n
The decision to remove the kiosks was made because their
\npresence had made the streets around the terminal very crowded,
\nthereby causing traffic jams, officials said.<\/p>\n
Ramal P., head of the law and order office, said that 150 of
\nhis officers are deployed in the terminal to safeguard security.
\nThe terminal accommodates hundreds of buses and other public
\ntransit vehicles, such as Metro Mini, Kopaja and Mikroletbuses,
\ndaily.<\/p>\n
The deployment of the officers is also intended to prevent the
\nformer owners of the demolished kiosks from returning to their
\nold location. (25)<\/p>",
