P

roperty developer PT Pembangunan Jaya is to provide temporary kiosks for Senen Market traders affected by a fire two weeks ago, after the installment of rolling doors at Block V is completed in March.

Senen Market superintendent Edi Santoso said Wednesday that he was optimistic all traders from the affected blocks I and II could be relocated next month.

“Those who do not have kiosks will be chosen randomly on Friday at the latest to get a slot in the Senen Market parking area,” Edi told The Jakarta Post.

The company also recorded the identity of kiosk owners at blocks I and II and would relocate them as soon as possible.

More than 1,000 kiosks in block I and II of the Senen Market were destroyed when a fire burned for more than 24 hours. As a result, traders set up in the streets around the burned building, which also caused them to lose more than half of their daily revenues.
