Badung market to be rebuilt

DENPASAR: The Denpasar mayoralty will soon rebuild Badung
market which was razed by fire last September and has vowed that
small traders would be given priority for sites in the biggest
traditional market in the province, spokesman Nyoman Subrata said
on Thursday.

Badung market, established in 1950, is situated in a strategic
location adjacent to the Kumba Sari market.

Subrata said small-scale traders had rejected the mayoralty's
offer of relocation to the Uma Anyar market, saying that the
latter was not a favorable location for their businesses.

"Small-scale traders must be patient as the administration has
given its word to rebuild the three-story market soon," he said
as quoted by Antara. (lup)
