Jakarta, IO – The revitalization of Pasar Senen Block VI has been stalled for years. The demolished buildings are now covered with shrubs, while vendors have been struggling to survive in temporary shelters for around five years.
One can see only a large area filled with shrubs and trees, as well as heaps of piles and idle excavator. Based on reliable information, the market was dismantled several years ago. But there has been no progress on the redevelopment.
