After Being Demolished By PT KAI Next Week, The Mount Antang Localized Land Will Be Used As Green Open Space
JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) will forcibly dismantle the localization of prostitution and gambling in the Gunung Antang area, East Jakarta on Tuesday, August 30 next week.
This date is the deadline for the SP-3 letter that has been sent to the occupants of illegal buildings in Gunung Antang.
Later, after the demolition, the area will be used as a Green Open Space (RTH) by PT KAI as the land owner.
"We submitted a letter to the City Government to help create green open spaces (RTH)," said Head of Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta, Eva Chairunisa, Friday, August 26.
It is known that the 3rd Warning Letter or SP-3 regarding the demolition of the localization of prostitution and gambling in the Gunung Antang area, East Jakarta, was only issued by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) on Thursday, August 25.
The issuance of the SP-3 is the last warning for the squatters in the illegal huts in the Gunung Antang area.
"(today) Not yet (dismantling). Thursday, August 25, SP-3 will only be issued," said Head of Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta, Eva Chairunisa when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, August 25.
The issuance of SP-3 will take effect for the next five days, starting from Thursday, August 25. On the last day after SP-3 was issued, joint officers from PT KAI and Muspiko of East Jakarta immediately carried out forced demolition.
"The integrated control plan is on August 30, 2022. SP-3 is valid for the next 5 days," he explained.
Meanwhile, a number of residents of RW 01, Kelurahan Rawa Bunga, urged PT KAI to immediately carry out the demolition of illegal buildings in the prostitution and gambling establishment of Gunung Antang, East Jakarta.
The insistence follows the absence of firm action from PT KAI as the land owner.
Head of RW 01 Rawa Bunga Village, Dwi Lestari, stated that the plan to demolish the Gunung Antang localization has been in progress for more than a month.
According to him, PT KAI and the East Jakarta City Government should no longer carry out the coordination stage, but carry out the demolition execution.
Moreover, continued Dwi, his area was often disturbed by Kamtibmas from residents of the Gunung Antang localization who had attacked residents of RW 01, Rawa Bunga Village.
Like the attack that happened to residents of Jalan Kemuning, Bendungan, RT 05/01, Rawa Bunga Village, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta, last Sunday, June 12.
As a result of the attack by a group of suspected thugs, four residents of Jalan Kemuning, Bendungan, RW 01, were injured as victims of attacks using sharp weapons. Two of them were stabbed by the perpetrators.
"It's been 2 months since the incident. It should not only coordinate, but it's time for the execution (unloading) of illegal buildings in Mount Antang. Because this case has been closed several times, even at the city level," said Dwi when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, August 4th.
Dwi also questioned the obstacles that occurred so that the control was never carried out by PT KAI.
"What are you waiting for? How many victims are you waiting for? Because for decades, not only RW 01 Rawa Bunga has been the victim of theft, beating and persecution from Mount Antang, but other areas have also been," he complained.
The head of RW 09 Palmeriam Village, Sutrisno, also made a complaint about the existence of Gunung Antang prostitution localization.
The demolition of the Gunung Antang prostitution area has not been carried out by the Satpol PP, PT KAI and the East Jakarta City Government, which raises big questions from the surrounding community.
Residents suspect that there are many specific interests from the relevant agencies regarding the existence of the phenomenal prostitution localization in the East Jakarta area.
"The PT KAI and the local government also don't have any firmness, right, if you disassemble it, you disassemble it, the layman doesn't have a question mark, what does this mean?" said Head of RW 09 Palmeriam Village, Sutrisno when confirmed by reporters, Tuesday, July 26.
The management of RW 09 of Palmeriam Village asked PT KAI as the land owner to be more assertive in controlling the localization of Mount Antang, Matraman, East Jakarta.
Sutrisno said that a firm attitude is very important so that the control plan is not seen as something ordinary or a mere formality.
