TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Dozens of street vendors came back to trade under the Klender Flyover street, East Jakarta. They opened a business place in Cakung and Pulogadung Sub-Districts.
The condition triggered traffic congestion along Jalan Raya Bekasi, especially from Pulogadung towards Cipinang.
The vendors were selling vegetable, fruit, chicken or fish. Because of it, the road can only be passed by one car.
East Jakarta Deputy Mayor, Husein Murad, had instructed local sub-district apparatus to control those vendors.
"I've instructed local sub-district heads to control vendors under Klender Flyover. If not, the vendors will disturb public order forever," he stated, Tuesday (8/4).
Responding on this problem, Head of Pulogadung Sub-District, Ahmad Haryadi, acknowledged that the border region is still in a state of mess.
But the area is clean at noon. This is because they are only allowed to trade at 6 AM and the place must be clear at 7 AM.
"Earlier, the vendors had built huts in front of Klender Station, but we had controlled them. About five months, the place had been sterile," he explained.
