Head of the Mataram City Trade Office (Disdag), Uun Pujianto, said officers were posting ovals to avoid further abrasion in the culinary merchant area in Mapak Indah.

"We cannot blame the community. But in the future, we hope that people will not build permanent stalls in the coastal border, especially since the area is an area prone to tidal waves," he said in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Friday, January 13, was confiscated by Antara.

In addition, because it is located in a tourism area, the Tourism Office together with the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) are preparing a redesign of the presence of MSME actors who are on the coastal border of Mapak Indah.

Meanwhile, Disdag is currently finalizing the zoning of street vendors (PKL) and coastal border areas, one of which is in the red zone or locations that are prohibited from selling, let alone making permanent stalls.

Terkait dengan itu, Uun berharap agar para pedagang bisa bersabar dan menunggu kondisi cuaca lebih baik sehingga proses pemasangan beronjong bisa segera segera selesai dan masyarakat bisa beraktivitas kembali.

In that opportunity, Uun ensured that the local government paid attention to abrasion in Mapak Indah which occurred at the end of 2022.

"For dozens of culinary traders in Mapak Indah who were affected by abrasion, it remains the attention of the regional head. We still use their presence as data for future handling plans," he said.

The condition of 20 culinary stalls in Mapak Indah has now been depleted by the beach abrasion which hit the bottom of the stall to a depth of 3-4 meters.
