"You cannot build without the permission of the Head of Industry and Trade and Market officials, don't let certain people play, the location of the Youtefa market belongs to the Jayapura City government. I hope that the Head of the Department and the officers when it has been cleaned must be guarded, not to be like the Youtefa market. It has been a long time since it has been cleaned. There are still some who wake up, "he said.

Rustan Saru said that there should be no buildings at the terminal location. In addition, no one can enter the morning market at night, all must enter at dawn and sell business.

He hopes that the officers will continue to take persuasive actions, stay in communication, have a good approach, if anyone is against it, let them know carefully.

Traders must also be honest with us, I ask for our cooperation," hoped the Deputy Mayor of Rustan. Saru.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Jayapura City Industry and Trade Cooperative and Small Medium Enterprises Office Robert Awi said that the control was carried out as part of the routine activities of the Jayapura City Government in order to organize and provide comfort for all traders and for city residents who come to shop at the market.

Demolition of traders' stalls was carried out, he continued, because traders built in prohibited areas, such as green areas and several buildings that were built were deliberately attached to buildings belonging to the municipal government without permission.

"There are about 80 units dismantled, this is because they were built in a place that was not in accordance with its designation," said Robert Awi.
