Sidewalk vendors

Sidewalk vendors in Glodok

From Warta Kota

In the last few days, sidewalk vendors selling VCDs and other wares near Harco Shopping Center, Glodok, have disappeared. Still, the area remains messy, with fences made from iron sheeting here and there. Also, several public order officers from the Jakarta administration still keep guard there.

Hopefully, the area will soon be really free from sidewalk vendors and neat again, without the need for public order officials to be present.

Unfortunately, in parts of Glodok, located in Jl. Gajah Mada, sidewalk vendors selling electronic goods are still allowed to operate unhindered.

This shows that the West Jakarta municipality administration is unfair to the sidewalk vendors at Harco Shopping Center. The vendors on Jl. Gajah Mada are troublesome because their presence often causes traffic congestion.

Therefore, the relevant authorities should also remove them from Jl. Gajah Mada.
