JAKARTA - PT Transjakarta has diverted several bus routes due to the renewed protests in front of the House of Representatives (DPR) building this afternoon. Transjakarta services were operating normally earlier this afternoon, but some routes were diverted due to road closures.
Hundreds of people from various backgrounds once again swarmed the DPR building on Gatot Soebroto Street. Despite the drizzle, the crowd continued to grow, with some even jumping over the toll gates surrounding the building to reach the protest site. Police were deployed with vehicles to disperse the crowd.
The protest escalated as the crowd burned used tires in front of the DPR building fence. Black smoke billowed into the air, accompanied by the sound of small explosions from the burning tires. The crowd continued to chant slogans as they confronted security forces in front of the main gate.
The two DPR gates were packed with protesters. A number of vocational high school students were also seen arriving via the Gatot Soebroto Street toll road towards the DPR area.
