Evicted vendors get stalls

The South Jakarta mayoralty has provided 1,331 stalls in 11
markets for street vendors recently evicted from Pasar Minggu, an
official said.

Lihardin Sipayung, the spokesman of PD Pasar Jaya, the city-
owned market operator, said on Wednesday there is no need for the
vendors to worry.

Ten of the 11 eleven markets providing the stalls for the
vendors are in Radio Dalam, Lenteng Agung, South Cipete,
Mayestik, Cidodol, Kebayoran Lama, Melawai, Cipete, Manggis and
Pasar Rumput.

Lihardin said PD Pasar Jaya also trained 855 vendors from
markets throughout the mayoralty in 1994. By comparison 600
traders were trained by the company in 1993 and 1,122 in 1992.

He said that under the training courses, the traders are
taught how to improve their trading techniques. (22)
