Chicken sellers along Jendral Sudirman Street in Lubuk Linggau are staying put for now, even as talk of a move to Pasar Bukit Sulap continues to circulate. The main reason is simple: no official notice has reached them, so business is continuing as usual.
The uncertainty has become the central issue for traders who depend on the current location in Pasar Permiri, Lubuk Linggau Barat II District. Among them is a chicken seller who has spent a long time operating at a roadside stall and said the relocation talk was only heard informally from other people.
No Official Notice Yet
The trader said the current spot has long been used without a rental fee for the stall. The only regular contribution is for cleanliness, while security fees are described as voluntary and not collected on a fixed basis.
That arrangement is one reason the relocation rumor is being watched closely. For small traders, any change in the cost structure could directly affect daily earnings.
| Aspect | Current Condition | Trader’s Note |
|---|---|---|
| Sales location | Roadside on Jendral Sudirman Street, Pasar Permiri | Has been used for a long time |
| Stall fee | None | Located on the roadside |
| Cleanliness contribution | Yes | Traders take part |
| Security contribution | Voluntary | Not collected regularly |
Concerns Over Space and Costs
The seller also questioned whether Pasar Bukit Sulap has enough room to absorb all traders if the relocation is carried out on a large scale. In his view, the market area appears more limited, raising concern that capacity could become a problem.
Cost is another major concern. If traders are required to pay rent at the new location, the extra burden could be heavy for smaller sellers already working on thin margins.
Even so, the traders say they would follow the government’s decision if the move is officially imposed on all sellers. For now, they prefer to wait for a formal explanation rather than allow speculation to spread on the ground.
The issue has also been mentioned in coverage by linggaupos.bacakoran.co, which highlighted the arrangement of traders between Pasar Inpres and Pasar Bukit Sulap in Lubuk Linggau. For chicken sellers on Jendral Sudirman Street, however, the key point remains the same: no official instruction has been delivered, and that leaves the relocation question unresolved.
