JAKARTA - The demolition of Plaza Bogor, which is scheduled to be carried out in February 2023, has been postponed until Eid al-Fitr, which is expected to fall at the end of March.

The desire of traders to postpone the demolition of Plaza Bogor was approved by the Mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya and the Bogor City DPRD represented by the Chairman of Commission II, Anita Primasari Mongan and a member of Commission II, Rizal Utami, while attending the meeting of traders Plaza Bogor, Tuesday (31/1).

Anita also expressed her appreciation for the steps taken by the Bogor City Government, for listening to the wishes and aspirations of traders that have been conveyed for 4.5 years.

"Yes, this is a long process because it has been since 4.5 years ago the discourse of dismantling has surfaced. Now when it will be executed this year, we DPRD appreciate the steps taken by the City Government to postpone it until it runs out of Eid," said Anita.

In the relocation process, Anita also admitted that she would continue to supervise so that the process would run according to procedures and not harm traders.

"We will monitor Perumda Pasar Pakuan Jaya so that it continues to communicate with traders so that the process runs smoothly and technically.

"So communication must continue, not just stand still. The city government and the market must open the widest possible and maximum communication so that there is no misinformation," he concluded.

Di lokasi yang sama, Rizal Utami, meminta pedagang untuk bersiap-beriap agar nanti saat waktu dilokasi bisa berjalan lancar.

Rizal hopes that temporary shelters (TPS) for traders after being dismantled will find a proper place.

"There are 360 traders, but there are employees there. So we hope that it will be available later and traders can continue to sell," he explained.

Not only that, certainty regarding post-revitalization trade stalls is also a concern for Rizal. He asked Perumda PPJ to provide certainty of trading again for existing traders at Plaza Bogor who will later.

"They must get certainty about trading after it is revitalized. Do not let it be filled by other people," he concluded.
