SOLO - Mayor of Solo, Central Java, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, will make his official residence, Loji Gandrung, a center for takjil sales. However, this trading activity is not carried out every day, especially Saturdays and Sundays during Ramadan 2021.

"On the terrace and front yard of Loji Gandrung, you can sell takjil," he said in Solo as quoted by Antara, Friday, April 16.

He said that he is currently coordinating with the urban village and sub-district heads in Solo to ensure that culinary entrepreneurs in each sub-district have the opportunity to sell at that location.

"Yesterday we had drawn (the arrangement for the place to sell). If it is crowded, I will make it until Eid," he said.

However, he still requires sellers to pack food and drinks to make them more hygienic. Regarding the policy, he said, was part of the Surakarta City Government's efforts to restore the economic condition from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said that up to now, there are about seven points in the city of Solo that are used as centers for selling takjil.

Meanwhile, Head of the General Section of the Regional Secretariat for the Surakarta City Government, Herwin Nugroho, said that this activity was the city's commitment to economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said there would be as many as 40 MSMEs selling handicrafts and culinary delights from five sub-districts selling in that location.

"The trial will be held on Saturday and Sunday. If enthusiasm is good, the health program is maintained. The plan will be continued. For the sale itself starts at 15.00-18.00 WIB," he said.
