BANDUNG - The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) ensures that it will not provide space for street vendors (PKL) to sell during the Braga Beken (free of vehicles) every weekend. " “ There are no street vendors, they are clean. Moreover, for Braga Beken it is security by the police and the TNI and the fact is that yesterday's implementation was clean,” said Bandung City Satpol PP Secretary Idris Kuswandi in Bandung, Antara, Wednesday, May 8. Idris said the focus is currently on security by distributing officers to prevent street vendors from selling in the Jalan Braga area. " “ Then for Braga Beken we are more secure, both the end on Jalan Braga is short and long," said Idris. He said the Bandung City Satpol PP deployed as many as 60 personnel to guard the area during the implementation of Braga Beken every Saturday and Sunday for 24 hours. "So far, 42 personnel are routine, but because of the Beken Braga we have increased the number to 60 guard personnel with three shifts," he said. In addition to ensuring that no street vendors sell, he said, his party also always takes firm action against buskers who commit coercion by disturbing public peace and order in the area. According to him, his party often receives reports of buskers' activities carrying out their actions accompanied by coercion in the Braga area. "If there are buskers passing by, we will force them out of the Braga area. We will increase supervision and deploy personnel," he said.

Idris appealed to buskers not to carry out their actions in areas that had been banned because they would disturb visitors in the area.
