Hawkers protests eviction plan

JAKARTA: At least 50 street vendors protested in front of
Plaza Atrium in Senen on Monday, in opposition to the Central
Jakarta municipality's plan to evict them from the streets in the
area.

The administration plans to carry out the eviction on Tuesday.

The protesters, wearing white head bands, also demanded the
revocation of Bylaw No. 11/1988 on public order, arguing that the
enforcement of the regulation would make them lose their source
of income.

The local district office has already sent three notification
letters about the planned eviction to the street vendors. --
