MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution and his wife who is also chairman of TP PKK (Family Empowerment and Welfare Mobilization Team) Kahiyang Ayu visited the Petisah market. Both review the price of basic goods while having a dialogue with traders and buyers.
"Alhamdulillah, until now the stock of basic goods is still in a safe condition, and the price increase ahead of Eid is also not very significant. In addition, the purchasing power of the people of Medan is also increasing compared to the Eid al-Fitr last year", said Bobby Nasution, Tuesday, May 11.
Bobby Nasution also reviewed the building on the corner of Petisah market, this building is planned to be used as a Post for The Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) Micro Petisah Market.
"It is expected that this post will function effectively and by expectations, namely breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19", he said.
Bobby and Kahiyang Ayu also visit Ramayana Teladan. But Bobby was disappointed that the handwashing facilities didn't work properly.
"It's a pity the handwashing facilities there didn't work properly, the water didn't come out and the handwashing soap ran out", he said.
Previously, TNI/Police officers in Medan were also deployed to help supervise health protocols in shopping centers and markets. The goal is to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 due to increased buying and selling activities ahead of Eid al-Fitr.
Bobby Nasution said that efforts to break the chain of COVID-19 spread in the traditional market will come into effect later this week, as the number of market enders is expected to soar.
Mayor Bobby admitted that The Local Government of Medan has difficulty in blocking and blocking visitors to the market ahead of the holiday for Muslims.
"At least we have to do to keep the health protocols strictly. In essence, the health protocols must be maintained", said President Joko Widodo's son-in-law.
