There will be a spilled market in Depok City on the eve of Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijri. A number of technical implementations are being worked on so as not to cause chaos.

"Technically and the mechanism is being discussed with market players, God willing, there will be a ceremonial, so it is structured," said Depok Mayor Mohammad Idris in Depok, West Java, Sunday, April 16, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said that at least 2-3 points of the market spilled, for example on Jalan Naming D. Bothin, Jalan Raya Kalimulya, so it is better to regulate it, than to leave it alone, so it does not cause garbage everywhere.

"We have a number of reasons to allow the implementation of the spilled market which usually appears at Takbiran night," he said.

First, the government wants to invite the community, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the TNI-Polri to collaborate, so that economic benefits will be created in Depok City.

"By collaborating there are also benefits of excitement, and elements of the fun," he said.

Second, he continued, his party wanted to discipline the community so as not to litter when the market was spilled.

"We will discipline residents related to waste, because we can be disciplined people, with the implementation of the spilled market, of course there will be economic benefits (money) during Eid, but don't let the garbage scattered," he explained.

"Because it will injure our brothers and sisters who take care of the garbage, so they cannot participate in takbiran and so on," he continued.

For example, when the market was finished, it spilled at 03.00 WIB, then there was a period of time from 03.00 to 05.00 WIB to conduct "sweeping" garbage.

"The sweeping of garbage has been completed until 05.00 WIB or during Fajr time, so they (cleaning officers) can participate in Eid al-Fitr," said Idris.

For this reason, his party is still reviewing the technicalities and mechanisms for the implementation of the spilled market. Starting from stalls for MSME players from Depok City who are free of charge to anticipate waste.
