At Plaza Shinta, there are also two hundred traders who have registered to sell. Then, at the Metropolis mall there are more than 56 traders, most of whom are selling gold and silver.

Then, Anyar Market traders were also exempted from rental fees while selling at the relocation site until they returned to Anyar Market.

Previously, Tangerang City Government Development Assistant, Yeti Rohaeti, said that the process of revitalizing and temporarily relocating traders was not eviction, but tidying up the market so that traders and buyers were comfortable not to interfere with traffic.

He said that the condition of Anyar Market which has been consumed by age and is uncomfortable needs to be revitalized for the convenience of buying and selling in the future. The revitalization plan has been in process for a long time, now it is being carried out by the Ministry of PUPR.
