JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that he could not satisfy all parties in policies and developments in Jakarta. One of them is the construction of the Pusaka Flag Park in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

This park will combine three parks, namely Ayodya, Langsat, and Leuser Parks which are located close together. As a result of this development, the DKI Provincial Government decided to hold the Barito Pet Market traders at that location.

"Right now I'm finishing the park in the south. To build it is impossible to satisfy everything. We combine the three parks, Leuser, Ayodya, Langsat, we make jogging tracks," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Central Jakarta, Friday, October 17.

Currently, the DKI Provincial Government is building the Lenteng Agung Center and Culinary, South Jakarta. This location is a relocation place for Barito Market traders who are the places for the construction of the Pusaka Flag Park.

Sentra Fauna and Kuliner Lenteng Agung have 125 stalls with various functions, consisting of 22 culinary kiosks (zone A), amphitheater (zone B), 74 bird stalls and animal feed (zone C and D), as well as 29 additional parsel and culinary stalls (zone E).

This new location, called Pramono, is relocating traders with facilities that are quite feasible and easily accessible using public transportation. Therefore, Pramono hopes that in the end all traders of Pasar Barito will be willing to be relocated.

"It was moved to a very good place in South Jakarta, in Lenteng Agung, very close to the station. Hopefully this will become a new place to develop for those whose business or business for MSMEs is selling birds. But in this case, everyone can't," said Pramono.

"That is the task of the DKI Jakarta government. What I lead is how to then provide space for residents, most of which become safer, more comfortable, happy," he continued.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, October 15, the South Jakarta City Government again brought a warning letter (SP) to the Peliharaan Animal Market trader Barito. Head of the Legal Section of the South Jakarta Administration City, Dedi Rohedi, said that the provision of SP2 to traders at stalls JS 25, 26, 30 and 96 was a follow-up to SP 1 which had been issued last week.

They were asked to immediately move to Sentra Fauna and Culinary Lenteng Agung as new relocation sites within the next 7 days.

"In the previous SP1, we gave a deadline of seven days so that traders would want to be relocated to a new location, but it was not heeded," said Dedi, Wednesday, October 15.

Dedi hopes that the provision of SP 2 can make traders finally willing to be relocated, considering that the DKI Provincial Government wants Pasar Barito for the construction of the Pusaka Flag Park.

"Yesterday we were waiting for the building to be completed. Now it's finished, it can be occupied. We ask traders to understand that the government will still provide the best for them," said Dedi.
