The Wishes Of The Residents Of The Flower Swamp Are Fulfilled, The Localization Of Mount Antang Will Be Closed

JAKARTA - East Jakarta Satpol PP said that it would coordinate with PT KAI before controlling the beds in the Gunung Antang localization, Matraman, East Jakarta.

"We will coordinate with all stakeholders, especially PT KAI. Because the area is under their control (PT KAI)," said East Jakarta Satpol PP Head Budi Novian when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, June 15.

Confirmed by a separate VOI, Head of Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta Eva Chairunisa admitted that several years ago, PT KAI had carried out control (at the Gunung Antang localization) during the process of building an elevated track at Matraman Station.

"(It was brought under control) When I wanted to build the Matraman Station elevated track with the DJKA Satker several years ago," Eva told VOI.

Even though it has been brought under control several years ago, the illegal building of the localization business is back up and running to this day.

However, in the near future, PT KAI will re-order the localization of Mount Antang in East Jakarta.

"Control will be carried out," he said.

Previously, it was reported that residents asked the government and officials to close the localization of Mount Antang, Matraman, due to the attack that occurred on Jalan Kemuning, RT 005 RW 001, Rawa Bunga Village, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta.

Head of RW 001 Rawa Bunga Dwi Lestari said residents expressed their desire to mediate with Gunung Antang at the East Jakarta Police Headquarters, Monday, June 13, yesterday.

"Requests from residents ask for the closure of the localization of prostitution and gambling in Gunung Antang. That's a request from the residents, it should be closed immediately," said Dwi when contacted, Tuesday, June 14.

Dwi said that not only the residents of Rawa Bunga objected to the localization of Mount Antang, but also the residents of Kayu Manis and Pisangan. This is because the residents' settlements are close to the localization.

"Because we have talked about the residents of Kayu Manis and Pisangan (Baru) which are located close to Mount Antang," said Dwi.

Dwi also explained, many residents asked about the existence of the localization of Mount Antang which is still operating today. He also asked the relevant parties to immediately take decisive steps to close the localization of prostitution.

"Because people ask a lot of questions, what's wrong with that localization that can't be closed? While other localizations can be closed. All of that (Kalijodo) can be closed, why can't Mount Antang be closed?," he asked in surprise.
