JAKARTA - The month of Ramadan, the month is full of blessings. So the term is often spoken by the general public. Ahead of the Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijriah, a number of street vendors (PKL) of imported clothing or thrifting began to hold their stalls along Jalan Pasar Senen, Senen District, Central Jakarta on Monday, April 10, evening. The traders used the shoulder of Jalan Pasar Senen as an impromptu selling stall.

After getting fresh air from the Minister of Trade, Zulkifli Hasan, who invited traders of used imported clothes to keep selling, the traders were increasingly free to sell their merchandise in the Pasar Senen area.

But besides that, violations were actually seen when clothing traders took part in almost all agencies and Transjakarta routes on Jalan Pasar Senen at night. The traders were seen closing the Transjakarta route with their merchandise.

Four-wheeled vehicles and Transjakarta buses passing on Jalan Pasar Senen, precisely across Atrium Mall, have difficulty passing through the human oceans in the area. The large number of Thrifting traders and passing buyers close access to passing vehicles.

This condition was complained by a number of vehicles passing by at the location. The complaint arose from one of the drivers of an SUV named Tommy who was passing by.

"The Satpol PP must carry out supervision and control, it's the task of the Satpol to enforce the Regional Regulation. Don't let the Satpol PP just park the official car, but there is no maintenance and supervision. Instead, there is omission," said Tommy Setiawan, a car driver who passed by the location on Monday, April 10, evening.

Based on VOI's monitoring, the existence of traders utilizes a number of road facilities, sidewalks and Transjakarta routes. Although there is a Satpol PP official car, Satpol PP officers seem to allow and close the eyes of street vendors who close Pasar Senen Street.

Deputy Mayor of Central Jakarta Chaidir said the task related to the enforcement of the Tibum Regional Regulation was the domain of the Satpol PP.

"To Satpol PP, yes," said Chaidir when confirmed by VOI, Monday, April 10.
