TANGERANG The dismantling of the Tangerang sea fence made the fishermen around him feel happy. One of the fishermen in Tanjung Pasir, named Maun (56) admitted that he was very happy because his activities in finding fish returned to normal. Even though Maun had complained to the village head, but there was never a response.

"Very grateful. Previously it was very difficult. The story told the village head there was no response. Finally, there were officials who responded to us as fishermen. Previously, it was really tough. We reported that there were no arrests here and there. Especially from the village head. One, two times we met. Two, three times, the fourth time we were left. No responsibility. No response," said Maun, Monday, January 20.

Maun admitted that he did not trust the authorities in his village. Because for him the officials in his village are far from welfare, because they really don't think about their citizens.

"That's why we are very grateful, Mr. President Prabowo, please try to do it as quickly as possible for the future to be even better. Apart from that, we cannot expect other officials (such as villages). All these officers are very damaged. No one wants to pay attention," complained Maun.

The TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto emphasized that the 30.16 km revocation on the Tangerang Coast was based on the orders of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto. Therefore, his party immediately carried out the instructions by withdrawing the fence.

General Agus ensured that his party would continue the demolition until it was completed.
