The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) will also ask the authorities to increase supervision. "Of course we ask the authorities to increase supervision," he said.

Previously reported by Antara, the atmosphere of Tanah Abang Market was again busy before Eid, seen by buyers who came to the shopping area.

"It's been busy even though it's not as busy as Lebaran 2019," said Saipul, a Muslim clothing trader who was met in the middle of his busy schedule of arranging merchandise.

Saipul admits that his merchandise, which usually only sells in the dozens, can now reach up to two dozen clothes.

Based on the observation of the majority of buyers, they are looking for items such as Muslim clothing and parcels.

Saipul estimates that the peak of crowds at Tanah Abang Market will occur in early May 2021, after employees receive salaries and holiday allowances (THR).

"It is usually crowded on weekends and holidays, starting from the busy market from 10.00 to 14.00 WIB," he said.
