S. Jakarta mayor inspects markets

JAKARTA (JP): South Jakarta Mayor H. Pardjoko and several other officials inspected shopping centers, markets and the Lebak Bulus bus terminal on Tuesday.

"This inspection is mainly intended to closely monitor the situation at shopping centers, markets and bus terminals on the days leading up to the Idul Fitri festivities," Pardjoko told Antara.

Data available at the South Jakarta mayoralty office shows that the prices of almost all commodities have increased by 10 percent to 25 percent.

During his inspection at the Lebak Bulus bus terminal Pardjoko talked to the terminal's chief Yusran Tanjung, asking him about transportation facilities provided by the terminal for passengers who want to celebrate Idul Fitri in their hometowns. (bas)
