Vendors seek Council support<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: At least 20 street vendors who own stalls on Jl.
\nFachrudin and Jl. Wahid Hasyim in Central Jakarta went on Monday
\nto the city council's commission B overseeing the economy to seek
\nsupport against a plan by the Central Jakarta municipality to
\nbulldoze their stalls.<\/p>\n
"We come here to ask support from councillors to convince
\nCentral Jakarta mayor Muhayat to exclude us from the planned
\neviction as we are all local residents who want to make a living
\nthere," said M. Sugiri, the coordinator of the street vendors'
\nassociation.<\/p>\n
Sugiri said there were 820 street vendors who were likely to
\nbe affected by the planned eviction.<\/p>\n
Commission B secretary Nurmansyah Lubis promised to look for
\nsolutions to the vendors' problem.<\/p>\n
Central Jakarta municipality plans to vacate the area that has
\nbeen overcrowded by street vendors in order to ease traffic jams.
