ozens of officers from Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) raided fruit stalls set up along Jl. Jatinegara Timur sidewalk in East Jakarta on Tuesday.

Arriving in five agency cars, the officers dismantled all the stalls.

“You still have plenty of room inside the shops [along the street]. Why are you still occupying the sidewalk,” said one of the officers to the sellers.  

The officers reportedly did not seize the fruits but only disassembled the stalls. They allegedly confiscated the sellers’ identity cards and asked them to redeem the ID cards after paying an administration fee of Rp 5,000 (35 US cents) and fines of Rp 200,000 at the East Jakarta District Court.

On March 9, Satpol PP raided stalls occupying sidewalks in Koja, North Jakarta and even seized some of the vendors' carts. (wnd)
