JAKARTA - Several concrete dividers (separators) for the busway lanes along Jenderal Gatot Subroto Street were damaged by demonstrators during clashes with security forces who forcibly dispersed the protesters on Monday, August 25, 2025.
Furthermore, according to VOI, concrete dividers were also scattered across Jenderal Gatot Subroto Street. In addition to the concrete, several pieces of broken stone were also scattered across the road.
The protesters had previously thrown these pieces of stone at security forces guarding the demonstration.
The protesters then responded with water cannons. The chaos did not last long, as officers took the initiative to push the crowd back towards TVRI Senayan.
Meanwhile, officers were seen beginning to repair the busway lane dividers that had been damaged by the protesters.
The repairs were carried out after Jenderal Gatot Subroto Street was cleared of protesters. The repairs began at around 2:29 PM WIB.
Currently, the area in front of the DPR RI Building gate appears deserted. There are no longer any protesters demonstrating in front of the House of the People.
Police officers were also nowhere to be seen in front of the DPR RI Building gate at around 2:31 PM WIB.
Previously, a number of demonstrators were pushed back by joint officers from the Central Jakarta Metro Police, heading towards TVRI from Jenderal Gatot Subroto Street, in front of the DPR RI Building, Central Jakarta, on Monday, August 25, 2025, at around 1:00 PM WIB.
"Come on, officers, move forward, the masses move back," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Senior Commissioner Susatyo Purnomo Condro from atop a command vehicle.
The crowd, pushed back, slowly retreated, occasionally engaging in clashes with shield-wielding officers. Furthermore, the crowd also sprayed insults on the flyover wall in front of Spark Senayan.
