Greater jakarta: Parcel vendors pack Cikini'€™s sidewalks

P

arcel vendors have started to display gift packages on the sidewalks of Jl. Cikini Raya in Menteng, Central Jakarta, ahead of the Idul Fitri celebration.

Dozens of vendors offer neatly wrapped packages of snacks and glassware along with piles of decorative products such as wood baskets, rattan baskets and colorful ribbons.

Diah, 32, said she had been running the seasonal business for two years.

'€œWe have been open since the beginning of Ramadhan. We have received many orders, but the orders will peak about seven days prior to Idul Fitri,'€ she said as quoted by tribunnews.com

Aside from Jl. Cikini Raya, parcel vendors can usually be found on the nearby Jl. Pegangsaan Timur. However, beritajakarta.com reported that officials from Pegangsaan subdistrict would relocate the vendors on the street 700 meters further away to Jl. Penataran Ujung.

'€We will move the vendors to Jl. Penataran Ujung, which is a quite big location in order to ease traffic,'€ Pegangsaan subdistrict head Asep Mulyaman said.
