INDUSTRY.co.id - Pandeglang - Pandeglang Regent, Banten Province, Irna Narulita asks traders in traditional markets not to raise the price of goods casually, especially for basic needs.

She also stated that he has emphasized the Department of Industry, Trade and Energy Mineral Resources to regularly monitor prices to various traditional markets in the region.
In Pandeglang regency there are 14 traditional markets, and all must be monitored, with the hope of officers from related institutions traders also think to raise prices.

Head of Department of Industry, Trade and Energy Mineral Resources Andi Kusnardi said that the increase in the price of basic commodities is still within the limits of reasonableness.
