KUDUS - The government of Kudus Regency, Central Java, has finally relocated vegetable traders who sell at night at the Bitingan Market to the Animal Market. The existence of night vendors who use local road shoulders causes traffic jams and motorists complain. "For the time being, vegetable traders can occupy the Animal Market in Gulang Village, Mejobo District, or on Jalan Lingkar Selatan Kudus," said Assistant II of the Kudus Regional Secretary Jadmiko Muhardi Setiyanto in Kudus, quoted from Antara, Monday, January 9. According to him, the animal market is more representative than the New Market, which was previously also discussed in the market. In addition to easy access, trucks carrying vegetables can also enter the market location. "It is different if the Pasar Baru access road is not wide enough and the entrance is also one door," he said. The location is also close to residential areas so that activities that start at night until the morning may also disturb local residents. The use of the animal market is also not every day because livestock traders only sell based on market days so they don't sell every day. Kudus Regent Hartopo emphasized that vegetable traders at night are no longer allowed to sell on the side of the road in the Bitingan Market complex because it is the face of Kudus City. "We monitor directly to the Bitingan Market at night, it looks shabby because the traders set up tents and caused traffic jams," he said. Relocation of traders, he said, is no longer negotiable, they must be willing to be moved and the district government will prepare a place.
