JAKARTA - The Head of Jelambar Baru Village, Danur Sasono, admitted that he did not know why residents living under the Angke 2 Toll Road could get access to electricity in supporting daily activities. Danaur said that the residential area there belongs to PT Jasa Marga (Persero) as the toll road manager. So, according to him, Jasa Marga is better aware of the cause of the connecting access to electricity to the residents under the toll road. "The village is only the area, while assets belong to Jasa Marga. Supervision Harus ada di teman-teman Jasa Marga, ya," kata Danur kepada wartawan, Selasa, 20 Juni.Danur berujar, jajaran Pemprov DKI kini telah melakukan pendataan warga yang tinggal di Kolong Tol Angke 2. Tercatat ada 64 bangunan semi permanent, 34 KK dengan 106 jiwa penghuni di sana."KTP-nya ada yang DKI dan luar DKI. Kalau di sana kebanya ya. Non-DKI saya sampaikan yang masih KTP lama, karena mereka tidak update, mungkin karena pekerja informal," urai Danur. Namun, Danar mengaku belum know the follow-up to handling housing under the Angke 2 Toll Road by the DKI Provincial Government. "We collect data first, what will the direction be, wait for the leadership," he added. Under the Angke 2 Toll Road, the majority of residents live in rooms that are only limited to plywood. The height under the toll road is only about 150 centimeters. However, there is an electricity that is used by residents for daily activities. Not many sunlight can enter this residential area. The residential area of the residents is also located on the edge of the Grogol River. Based on information, the majority of residents who have lived under the Angke 2 Toll Road for years are those who have been affected by the eviction of the Kalijodo park construction since the era of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) who served as Governor of DKI. There is a reason why residents under the Angke 2 Toll Road are actually not designated as residences. Among them, they do not have the money to pay rent and have economic activity there. Residence phenomenon The slum under the Angke 2 Toll Road was highlighted by the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi. Prasetyo admitted that he was worried about the existence of residents' residences there. This is because the condition of the place to live under the toll road is not appropriate. In fact, a fire occurred under a similar toll road in 2019, namely under the Pluit Toll Road. "That's a danger, you know, if he suddenly caught fire. You used to fire at the bottom bridge. Some have cracked under the toll road," said Prasetyo.

Prasetyo also urged the DKI Provincial Government to immediately control slum settlements under the Angke 2 Toll Road. The DKI Provincial Government, continued Prasetyo, could coordinate with the Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda) for the implementation of its arrangement. "This is a classic problem. Suddenly those who live there are given electricity. Yes, he is there. There must be a government like this. There is an village head, there is a Satpol PP. In the province, there is Forkopimda. It's just a communication with the authorities, it's socialized," explained Prasetyo.
