JAKARTA (JP): A Rp 1.3 billion (US$394,000) market is
currently being built in Menteng Pulo, Central Jakarta, to
temporarily accommodate 450 traders from three South Jakarta
markets.

South Jakarta's assistant for development administration,
Amiruddin Sani Lubis, said the new, 6,000-square-meter, market
was for traders from the Ratna, Minangkabau and Kawi markets.

Amiruddin said the Ratna market would be demolished to make
way for a road leading to a nearby apartment project, while the
Minangkabau and Kawi markets are being moved because most of
their traders overflow on to nearby streets and obstruct traffic.

Amiruddin made the remarks after a meeting between mayoralty
officials and members of the City Council's Commission B for
economic affairs. (ind)
