According to the data obtained, there are about 100 residents and 32 heads of families (KK) who live in illegal locations, under the Cawang - Pluit toll road, Jelambar.
From Rian's statement, one of the residents who live under the toll road, he is afraid that there will be evictions by the government regarding the existence of their residence.
